Hong Kong #Court Denies Bail for #AppleDaily Executive and Cites #US Foreign Minister's Comment as Evidence of #ForeignCollusion
#Cheung KimHung, former Chief Executive of Apple Daily, on trial for national security offences had his bail denied in part because of comments made by US Foreign Minister #DominicRaab after his arrest. The prosecution cited it as evidence of a “close association” with foreign political groups.
Cheung and five senior executives of the pro-democracy newspaper were arrested during a police raid on Apple Daily newsroom and executives’ homes in June, 2021.
They are accused of conspiring to use the outlet to collude with foreign entities and seek sanctions, blockades, or other hostile activities against the Hong Kong and Chinese governments, endangering national security.
In denying bail, Judge Susana D’Almada Remedios cited prosecutors’ claims that Cheung had “a close association with the USA and foreign political groups as evidenced by their prompt reactions condemning law enforcement actions against the applicant and the condemnation of [the national security law] and enforcement actions against Apple Daily”.
In her reasons, Remedios also cited prosecutor's claims that Cheung maintained business connections to Apple Daily in Taiwan, which they said “posted articles for making unfounded allegations against the HKSAR government and the Hong Kong police repeatedly”.
