**Jimmy Lai remains imprisoned in Hong Kong following his February 2026 sentencing to 20 years on national security charges of conspiring to collude with foreign forces and publishing seditious articles.** The 78-year-old British citizen, detained since late 2020, declined to appeal the conviction after a trial that concluded in December 2025. An earlier fraud sentence was overturned on appeal, but this has not materially altered his national security term. Diplomatic efforts, including U.S. President Trump raising the case with Xi Jinping and UK interventions, have produced no release, with officials describing the matter as a domestic judicial issue. A September 2026 congressional hearing featuring Lai’s children highlights ongoing international advocacy amid his reported health concerns, yet no procedural or political developments point to near-term release under Hong Kong’s national security framework.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Jimmy Lai is released from custody by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
If Lai is released but remains under house arrest, the market will still resolve to "Yes".
If Lai is released on parole, bond, or any other condition that results in them leaving state custody, the market will resolve to "Yes".
Transporting Lai to another location of custody (e.g., a different prison, court, or hospital within the correctional system) will not suffice to resolve this market to "Yes". Extradition of Lai to another country where he remains in custody will also not count.
Temporary outings from prison for purposes such as testifying in court, while still under the custody of correctional authorities, will not count as a release.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from relevant government authorities or corrections departments; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
