The pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong brought hundreds of thousands of people out into the streets in 2019.
They demanded democracy and that China uphold the freedoms it had promised when it took back the British colony in the late 1990s.
For the first time since Beijing imposed a new security law on Hong Kong,
police have carried out dozens of arrests and used water cannon and tear gas against protesters.
China responded by arresting thousands of protesters, including the leaders of the movement.
like a man named Jimmy Lai.
For decades, Lai had used his wealth and his newspaper to campaign for democracy.
He was a constant thorn in the side of Beijing.
We interviewed Lai on the show in 2020, just after he was arrested.
