Hong Kong's first trial under national security law starts without jury
Tong Ying-kit faces life in jail but has pleaded not guilty to inciting secession and terrorism, as well as a charge of dangerous driving.
He is accused of riding a motorbike into several police, flying a flag about the "liberation" of Hong Kong.
Beijing says the national security law criminalises "subversive" acts but critics say it silences dissent.
