Hong Kong Media Magnate Jimmy Lai Found Not Guilty in 2017 Case

VOA News

   A Hong Kong court Thursday found the media tycoon Jimmy Lai not guilty
   of criminal intimidation, closing one of several cases pending against
   the outspoken critic of Beijing.

   The acquittal pertains to a 2017 case against Lai, who allegedly used
   foul language against a reporter from the pro-Beijing newspaper
   Oriental Daily -- a rival media outlet to Lai's Apple Daily. Police did
   not press charges against Lai until February of this year.
