Sep 7, 2022: 5 speech therapists found guilty of seditious over publishing these 3 children's book. However, these books doesn't mention anything about protesting. Judge Kwok Wai-kin claimed that the law does not limit freedom of speech, but it is the very reason he is putting those people into jail.

The victim of the shooting on Nov 11, 2019 is sentenced for 6 years in jail. The judge said he bullied the police. This excused is totally made up as everyone could see the police deliberately turned around looking for someone to shot. Again, these judges have no consequences for putting innocent people in jail.

The country's top legislature has passed an interpretation of Hong Kong's national security law, clarifying that the courts need approval from the Chief Executive, or the committee on safeguarding national security, to allow foreign lawyers to take part in national security cases here.

Their intention is only to prevent #JimmyLai from hiring a foreign lawyer.

With the new interpretation, it will put John Lee above the law.

Jan 7: 10 people, including a singer and a pregnant woman, were sentenced to jail for 50 to 52 months related to the Polytechnic University Siege. What's bizarre is that the judge said it was a serious crime even when they didn't chant slogan nor take action. So they committed a crime by standing. This judge should be sent to jail!

UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, said UK has the right to interfere according to the joint declaration referring to #JimmyLai's case.

Fair trial? Not a chance. The judge kept interrupting the Gwyneth Ho Kwai-lam at the court. When are these #CCP appointed judges ever going to get the justice they actually deserve?

Jan 3: on day 5 of #JimmyLai's trial, prosecutors claiming he directed #AppleDaily's English edition to promote "yellow" viewpoints and seek foreign sanctions. They mention Lai's Twitter account, where he followed figures like Tsai Ing-wen and Mike Pence. The judge questioned the relevance, but prosecutors argue it shows Lai's connections and state of mind. Critics see these charges as an attack on free expression.

Jimmy Lai's trial highlights the concerning reality that having a Twitter account can now be used against individuals in prosecutions. The case underscores the potential risks individuals face for expressing their viewpoints and connecting with others on social media platforms. #FreedomOfExpression #freehk #freepoliticalprisoners
Jan 4: On the 6th day of the #JimmyLai case, the prosecution alleges that he is the mastermind behind the "Stand with Hong Kong (SWHK)" team, supporting global advocacy and international alliances. They claim Lai provided financial support and instructed individuals to organize the "Global Call for Action" campaign, urging foreign pressure on China. The team established connections with the US, UK, and Japan to lobby for sanctions. Lai transferred over HKD 118 million to his assistant and donated over HKD 93 million to pro-democracy figures and parties. Trial adjourned until Monday with reduced witness count. #HongKong #FreePoliticalPrisoners

Jan 10 Jimmy Lai's trial: Prosecution presents financial investigation details, including suspicious transactions and alleged funding of political organizations. Lai is charged with 'colluding with foreign forces' and other offenses. Defense questions the exaggerated language in the police testimony. The judge emphasizes the court's role in determining the conclusions. Trial to resume next Tuesday with expert witness testimonies. #JimmyLai #freePoliticalprisoners
Jan 16: day 10 of Jimmy Lai's trial. Defense disputes relevance of expert reports to national security charges, while prosecution argues no need to prove Lai's actions caused foreign sanctions. Judge approves expert reports, stating they aid understanding of US actions against Hong Kong and whether they constitute "sanctions, blockades, or other hostile actions" under the National Security Law. Trial continues with the testimony of an accomplice witness.

It seems that the prosecution lacks a direct witness to support their accusations. Instead, they have relied on expert reports to present their case. The absence of a witness raises questions about the strength of the prosecution's evidence.
