The Catholic Humanitarian Committee has written a letter condemning the unjust imprisonment of Hong Kong Catholic businessman Jimmy Lai by Communist Chinese authorities.
Catholic educators, urging them to consider organizing a prayer campaign for Jimmy Lai as “a Lenten student project that teaches valuable lessons about the universality of the Catholic Church” and “being a Christian witness.”
The letter’s nine signatories include four former U.S. Ambassadors, namely Sam Brownback, Joseph Cella, Mary Ann Glendon, and Jim Nicholson. The other signers are Thomas Farr of the Religious Freedom Institute, Patrick Reilly of the Cardinal Newman Society, Nina Shea of the Hudson Institute, Father Robert Sirico of the Acton Institute, and George Weigel of the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
Jimmy Lai, “persecuted simply for advocating human justice and compassion,” is “overseas in a jail cell” and “should not be forgotten,” it declares.
