Jimmy Lai Denies Foreign Collusion in Hong Kong Security Trial
TL;DR
Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai has denied charges of colluding with foreign forces during the 2019 anti-government protests, as he testified in his national security trial. Lai, a prominent democracy advocate, is accused of seeking US intervention and publishing seditious material. His trial, seen as indicative of Hong Kong's declining freedoms, coincides with a major investment summit and follows the sentencing of 45 pro-democracy activists. Lai, who faces life imprisonment, has already been detained for over three years under Beijing's national security law.
