The case of “Next Media” founder Jimmy Lai and three companies of “Apple Daily” involving conspiracy to collude with foreign forces entered the sixth day of trial in the High Court today (January 4). The prosecution alleged that Jimmy Lai continued to direct Apple Daily’s operations after his arrest; the police seized Yeung Ching-kee’s phone and found a group called the “National Security Law Response Committee”, whose members included 6 arrested senior executives or columnists, as well as Cheung Chi-wai and Apple Daily’s deputy chief editor Jeung Mai-hung (蔣美紅), who have not been charged. As some of the members were subsequently arrested, Lam Man-chung removed Cheung and Jeung from the group.
