Caption
- Includes “#FreeJimmyLai. #BringHimHome is optional” checked automatically
Posting
- Build every clip around Sebastien Lai or Claire Lai: their interviews, speeches, press appearances and family photos from the asset folder.
- Hook in the first 1–3 seconds. Open on Sebastien or Claire speaking, or on a family photo.
- Fast-paced editing, captions and callouts on screen.
- Minimum 30 seconds. Use only footage from the provided asset folder.
- Tone is documentary seriousness, not meme edits. It should feel like something you made because you cared, not like an ad.
- Jimmy Lai is a father. His children have been separated from him for nearly six years.
- Show who he is through them: the father they grew up with, why they are proud of him, what they are fighting for.
- He is a hero of our time, not an elderly victim waiting to be rescued. His children speak about him with pride, not pity. Keep that tone.
- Jimmy Lai founded Apple Daily, Hong Kong's most widely read pro-democracy newspaper, forced to close in 2021.
- He was arrested in 2020 under Hong Kong's National Security Law and sentenced to 20 years.
- He is 78, in poor health, and has spent nearly six years in solitary confinement.
- He had everything to lose. He spoke when staying quiet would have protected his wealth, comfort and status.
- Use their words exactly as spoken. Do not splice separate sentences into a new statement. On-screen captions must match the audio.
- Do not write captions or on-screen text in their voice (e.g. "I just want my dad home"). Quote them in quotation marks and attribute by name.
- Only feature family members who appear in the asset folder. Do not pull from their personal social accounts.
- Featuring his children does not mean they endorse your clip. Do not imply they made, approved or shared it.
- Post must stay live for at least 90 days. Do not edit the caption or post settings after submission.
- Do not use AI-generated depictions, voices or video of Jimmy Lai or any family member. No AI watermarks.
- Do not fabricate quotes, court outcomes, or statements.
- Do not use Jimmy Lai's name or likeness in your username, handle, display name, bio, profile photo or banner.
- Do not imply you are run by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Jimmy Lai, his family, or the Support Jimmy Lai campaign.
- All views must be organic. No purchased or bot engagement, no pods, no paid boosting, no re-uploading the same clip across accounts you control.
