Media mogul and pro-democracy activist has been accused of conspiring to collude with foreign forces and faces life in prison
A heavy security presence and dozens of supporters surrounded a Hong Kong court on Monday morning as the national security trial of media mogul and activist, Jimmy Lai, got under way.
Lai’s trial, expected to last months, is one of the most high profile prosecutions in the Hong Kong government’s crackdown on opposition, and has been widely condemned by rights groups and other governments.
