Hong Kong court continues trial of activist publisher Jimmy Lai
TL;DR Summary
The trial of Hong Kong activist publisher Jimmy Lai, who faces charges under Beijing's national security law, entered its second day with judges expected to rule on his lawyers' bid to dismiss a sedition charge. Lai's trial is seen as a test for press freedom and judicial independence in Hong Kong, and his prosecution has drawn criticism from the US and UK. The judges will make a decision on the time limit for the sedition charge on Friday. The trial is expected to last about 80 days without a jury.
