Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai and three related companies of Apple Daily are charged with “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces” and other crimes. The case continued on Thursday (11th) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts (acting as the High Court) for the 58th day of the trial. Andy Li, one of the “12 Hongkongers” and the fourth accomplice witness, testified for the 15th day. Under cross-examination by the defense, he agreed that his actions before the enactment of the National Security Law (NSL), including crowdfunding for advertisements and international lobbying, were all legal. He disagreed with engaging in illegal activities and had not assisted others in illegal acts.
