Publisher Jimmy Lai to testify in his defence at Hong Kong security trial

Quick Summary:

A defence lawyer said Thursday that prominent publisher Jimmy Lai will testify in his defence in the landmark national security trial brought under a Beijing-imposed law that has all but wiped out public dissent.

Lai, the 76-year-old founder of the now-defunct Apple Daily newspaper, was arrested in 2020 during a crackdown on the mass pro-democracy protests that rocked Hong Kong in 2019.

He was charged with colluding with foreign forces to endanger national security and conspiring with others to put out seditious publications.
