Yvette Cooper says she will keep pressing China over Jimmy Lai case

Labour MP Yvette Cooper announced she will keep raising the Jimmy Lai case. Lai, a Hong Kong media tycoon, remains detained by Chinese authorities. Cooper said the issue will be raised directly with the Chinese government. She framed the case as a matter of press freedom and human rights. The statement follows growing international concern over Hong Kong arrests. Cooper urged continued diplomatic pressure to secure Lai’s release. The pledge signals Labour’s intent to keep the issue on the agenda. Observers will watch for any response from Beijing in the coming weeks.
