HONG KONG: Hong Kong pro-democracy media mogul Jimmy Lai walked free on bail on Wednesday, over a day after he and other critics of China were rounded up by police as part of a widening crackdown on dissent.
When Lai left a police station he was swarmed by dozens of cheering supporters, some of whom waved copies of his Apple Daily in a show of support.
A clampdown has gathered pace in Hong Kong since China imposed a sweeping security law in June, with opposition politicians disqualified and activists arrested for social media posts. (AFP)
