Jimmy Lai, the founder of Next Digital, and three related companies of Apple Daily are charged with “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces.” The case continued its 57th day of trial on Wednesday (10th) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts (acting as the High Court) under the National Security Law. The fourth accomplice witness, Andy Li, one of the “12 Hongkongers,” testified for the 14th day. Under cross-examination by the defense, Li confirmed that he had never met Jimmy Lai, “whether it’s by phone, online meeting, or any other method,” and had never communicated with him.
