"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Sir Keir Starmer is facing urgent calls from a cross-party group of MPs to secure the release of British citizen Jimmy Lai, who they warn faces a "de facto death sentence" in a Hong Kong prison, as the Prime Minister concludes his visit to China. Pressure has mounted on Sir Keir to prioritise the case of the 78-year-old British national, an influential figure in Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement and founder of the now-defunct Apple Daily newspaper."
"Mr Lai has been "arbitrarily detained" for over five years, much of it in solitary confinement, following his arrest in 2020 under Hong Kong's national security law. In a letter sent to the Prime Minister during his trip, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Arbitrary Detention and Hostage Affairs stated: "We hope one of the conditions of your visit is that you will be bringing Jimmy Lai home with you.""
