A landmark trial begins in Hong Kong against prominent China critic Jimmy Lai, facing charges of colluding with foreign forces and calling for sanctions on Hong Kong and Chinese government officials. The trial is a significant diplomatic event, with international scrutiny and calls for his release from Britain. The crackdown on dissent in Hong Kong, following the 2019 protests, has led to the imprisonment of several pro-democracy figures and the closure of Apple Daily.
