KEY POINTS

  • Jimmy Lai received a 20-year sentence for national security violations, prompting the EU to publicly deplore the decision on February 9, 2026.

In a stunning episode of 'International Crime or FedEx on Fire,' Jimmy Lai boots were untied by a ruthless 20-year sentence in Hong Kong for pro-democracy activism on February 9, 2026, provoking the EU to 'deplore' with a vocabulary richer than a bad Yelp review. Meanwhile, Germany’s prosecutors charged Yevhen B., a Ukrainian national, allegedly conspiring with Russian operatives to track and send GPS-loaded incendiary packages from Cologne to Ukraine — not your typical Christmas gifts. Amid this, Portugal’s new president António José Seguro snagged repeated EU congratulations, everything from storm resilience to social democracy, making democracy sound like a competitive sport with a gold medal in unsolicited compliments.
