Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I don't know whether you can hear us, Mr. Sébastien Lai, but I want to thank you. Also, through you, thank your father. Thanks for your incredible courage and perseverance, and for your testimony here today.
That goes for all the witnesses here today. Thank you very much for your testimony and courage.
I would like to pick up on something you said, Ms. Gallagher, that struck me: authoritarians learning from each other and using tactics.
You talked about weaponizing the law and prosecutorial harassment. It reminds me a bit about the kinds of things Maria Ressa in the Philippines is facing, and others around the world.
Could you tell us a bit about how you are seeing these kinds of patterns, where in one authoritarian state they use certain things, then others learn and transmit that back?
