Thank you very much for your question. You have my apologies that I'm answering in English rather than French.
My view is in line with that of the UN special rapporteur on torture and with that of the UN working group on arbitrary detention that Jimmy Lai's conditions amount to inhuman and degrading treatment. That's my view.
It is very clear that being in a circumstance of prolonged solitary confinement violates international law. Prolonged solitary confinement is solitary confinement for a period of more than 15 days. Jimmy Lai has spent almost five years in solitary confinement. That in itself is a deep concern under international law, just the very fact of solitary confinement. When you combine it with the fact that he's elderly and he's diabetic, it hugely increases the risk of morbidity, I'm afraid. That's why the statistics that I gave a little earlier are so worrying, because it's against a backdrop of many of those prisoners not having been in solitary confinement, but Jimmy Lai is.
This is a very clear violation of international law. That's the view of the expert international bodies. That's the view of expert international lawyers. That's the view of multiple countries around the world. What we now need to do is to ensure that there is robust action rather than simply words calling for Jimmy Lai's release, because we do not want to end up in a position like we did with Liu Xiaobo in China or like we did with Navalny in Russia. We need to get this man out of prison, back to Sebastien and back to his family before it's too late.
