💨 Abstract
A Hong Kong court will announce its verdict on Monday in the trial of Jimmy Lai, a former pro-democracy media mogul. Lai, 78, is charged with sedition and colluding with foreign forces under a national security law imposed by Beijing in 2020. The trial is seen as a test of Hong Kong's judicial independence and media freedom. Lai's newspaper, Apple Daily, was shut down after authorities arrested senior executives and froze assets.
