The Bradley Foundation, a private grantmaking organization in the United States, has awarded imprisoned Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai (黎智英) an honorary Bradley Prize for his defense of freedom, the exile outlet Photon Media (光傳媒) reported last week. Currently in his 1,570th day of detention, Lai faces potential life imprisonment on politically motivated charges. “Even from his small prison cell, my father stands firm against one of the world’s most powerful authoritarian regimes,” Sebastien Lai (黎崇恩) was quoted by the outlet as saying. “Thank you for reminding everyone this fight isn’t over yet.” The award ceremony will be held May 29 in Washington.
