Media mogul Jimmy Lai, founder of Next Digital and Apple Daily, faces charges of "collusion with foreign forces" and other offenses. Prosecutors claim Lai used his media platform to incite hatred against the Hong Kong government and China. The case involves 161 articles, including Lai's columns and Apple Daily reports, urging protests and international sanctions against China. Prosecutors allege Lai contacted foreign politicians, including former US Vice President Pence and Secretary of State Pompeo, seeking sanctions. Lai pleads not guilty.

Charges against Jimmy Lai for "collusion with foreign forces" are seen as baseless, stifling dissent and freedom of speech. Targeting prominent figures like Lai undermines democracy and human rights. We must condemn attempts to silence dissent. #JimmyLai #FreedomOfExpression #AppleDaily #HongKong

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

UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron criticizes the proposed legislation for Article 23 in Hong Kong, stating it does not comply with the Sino-British Joint Declaration and has vague definitions. He emphasizes the need for national security legislation to meet international standards and uphold human rights and freedoms. The Hong Kong government's current proposal fails to fulfill these obligations and could negatively impact the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong citizens. Cameron urges the government to reconsider the plan and genuinely consult the people of Hong Kong. #Article23 #HongKong #HumanRights

RSF warns of declining media freedom in Hong Kong, orchestrated by Chinese regime & local authorities. According to Cédric Alviani, RSF Asia-Pacific Bureau Director, claims of press freedom in Hong Kong are a "blatant lie." Crackdowns on independent journalism, closure of media outlets, & prosecution of journalists signal concerning trend.

流亡美國的香港前立法會議員梁頌恆在上集分析了向中共施壓的手段，是靠人數多還是要資本多的問題，今集他指出還值得留意的是，現今世界對華的態度非常強硬，「光復香港」的外圍形勢可謂前所未有最好。他特別提到倫敦間諜案的其中一名被告死亡，不論背後原因是甚麼，已經進一步影響英國人對中國的觀感，有利港人繼續爭取民主。
