Background

National Security Law

See main article: 2020 Hong Kong national security law.

Before Hong Kong national security law was imposed by the Beijing Government and officially promulgated by the Hong Kong Government on 30 June 2020, Jimmy Lai, the founder of Next Digital, was rumoured to be a target under the new law. Lai insisted on not leaving Hong Kong; during two interviews on 16 and 29 June he said that he was expecting to be jailed. He also vowed to fight until the last moment.[1]

Events

In the morning on 10 August 2020, the National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force arrested founder of Next Digital Jimmy Lai. Four senior management staff of the company, CEO Cheung Kim-hung, CFO Royston Chow Tat-kuen, Administrative Director Wong Wai-keung, and Animation Director Ng Tat-kwong, were arrested on suspicion on conspiracy to commit fraud,[2] while Chow was also with the suspicion of collusion with foreign forces under the National Security Law.[3] Two sons of Lai were arrested also under the suspicion of collusion with foreign forces. Mark Simon, the adviser to Lai who was not in Hong Kong, was reportedly wanted by the police. He later confirmed on Twitter that Lai had been arrested under the national security law.[4] Nearly 200 police cordoned, raided, and searched the headquarters of Next Digital and Apple Daily in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate at 10 am after making arrests.[5] Ryan Law Wai-kwong, editor-in-Chief of Apple Daily, asked the cops to show the search warrant issued by the court. Apple Daily said such request was ignored,[5] but the Police Force later rejected such claim. The administrative Department of Apple Daily called the staff not to come to work due to unexpected situations.[6] Some journalists were prevented from picturing the office desk by the police, while those at the office had their personal information taken by the police. It was said the departments of local news, breaking news and finance news were raided.[7] Handcuffed Lai was brought to the office at around 11 am. Chan Pui-man, Associate Publisher of Apple Daily, and Law insisted to monitor the raid and argued that the search warrant did not cover the news material, which was echoed by Steve Li Kwai-wah from the National Security Department,[8] although the police took away the materials and threatened to arrest two with suspicion of obstructing police officers.[9] Cheung, also handcuffed, arrived at noon. Lawyers were permitted to reach Lai and Cheung after negotiations with the police.[10] [5] Editors while working and reporters were asked to leave the office,[11] blocked from taking photos of Cheung,[12] and were stopped from entering the editing department of the office.[13] Lai and Cheung left the office at around 1 pm following three-hour raid in the office. Computers, mobile phones, details of the exiled activists and other evidences were said to be taken away.[14] Some pro-Beijing activists celebrated the raid outside the office.[15]

Controversies stirred as local and international reporters from RTHK, Stand News, Inmedia, AFP and Reuters were not allowed to enter press area, while media said to be pro-government were allowed in.[16]

On the same day, Hong Kong police also arrested three activists: Agnes Chow,[17] Wilson Li Chung-chak and Andy Li Yu-hin, and sent three officers with a court order to the Hong Kong office of The Nikkei who ran an advert paid for by pro-democracy activists in 2019.[18] [19]

Closure of Apple Daily

On 21 June, Apple Daily announced it would have to close unless the accounts were unfrozen, as it was unable to pay its staff or support operating costs.[72] On 23 June, the newspaper said it would close "in view of staff members' safety" and the print run of 24 June would be its last.[73] [74] Apple Daily also said its digital version would go offline at 23:59 Hong Kong Time (UTC+8) on 23 June.[75]

Activists backed up the news articles from Apple Daily on various blockchain platforms to ensure the content was available and free from Chinese censorship.[76]

Subsequent arrests and charges against executives

On the next day after the raid, Apple Daily editor-in-chief Ryan Law and CEO Cheung Kim-hung were charged for colluding with foreign forces, and they both remanded in prison. Meanwhile, the three others (Chan Pui-man, Chow Tat-kuen and Cheun Chi-wai) were released on bail, while pending their further investigation by the police.[77]

Apple Daily editorialist "Li Ping" (Yeung Ching-kee) was arrested on 23 June “on suspicion of conspiring to collude with foreign countries or foreign forces to endanger national security”,[78] [79] Fung Wai-kong, editor-in-chief of the English news section at Apple Daily, was arrested on 27 June at Hong Kong International Airport while attempting to flee the city.[80]

On 21 July, former executive director of now-closed Apple Daily, Lam Man-chung, was arrested for conspiracy to colluding with foreign forces.[81] On 22 July, the remaining four executives, Chan Pui-man, Lam Man-chung, Fung Wai-kwong and Yeung Ching-kee, were all charged for conspiracy to colluding with foreign forces. All of them had their bail denied while being detained at the police station, and they will appear at West Kowloon Courts on Thursday.[82]

Court proceedings

In November 2022, more than a year after arrest, six former senior executives of the Apple Daily newspaper, Cheung Kim-hung, Ryan Law, Chan Pui-man, Lam Man-chung, Fung Wai-kong, and Yeung Ching-kee, pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to commit collusion . Their case was heard by a panel of three handpicked national security judges. Some defendants are said to be testifying in the upcoming trial against Lai.[83] [84]

Jimmy Lai had decided that he will not plea not guilty early in August.[85] Lai later hired British barrister and top British human rights lawyer Tim Owen to handle his case. The Secretary for Justice and the Bar Association first objected such decision during a case management hearing in September.[86] Two later appeals by the Department of Justice to Court of First Instance and Court of Appeal in October and November were all denied, citing public interest and general principle.[87] [88]

Before decisions of the Court of Final Appeal was delivered, state media attacked the court's decision to let Owen represent Lai, quoting one pro-China figure as saying the hearing should be shifted to the mainland if necessary.[89] The prospect of asking the Chinese authorities to "interpret" the national security law was also increasingly imminent as Beijing loyalists stepped up pressure, describing as the only way to do so if the court ruled in favour of Lai.[90]

In September 2022, the HKBA opposed an attempt by Jimmy Lai to hire a lawyer from the UK, stating "the well established criteria for admitting overseas counsel on an ad hoc basis are not met."[91] In October 2022, the High Court refuted the HKBA, and allowed Lai to hire a UK lawyer.[92] In November 2022, the government lost its case in the Court of Final Appeal, paving the way for Lai to hire Tim Owen.[93]

On 28 November, the Court of Final Appeal rejected another appeal by the Department of Justice and ruled in favour of Jimmy Lai to use Owen,[94] as Justice Secretary Paul Lam failed to justify his claim of countering foreign interference through banning overseas counsels. Hours later, Chief Executive John Lee recommended the National People's Congress to interpret the law.[95] The Chinese authorities joined the pro-Beijing camp to slam the court, criticising the court's verdict as violating the "legislative spirit" and "legal logic" of the NSL which shall be on high alert.[96]

Victor Dawes of the HKBA commented that people should wait for the NPCSC to make its decision before commenting on its impact. Dawes also commented "I do understand the government's position and the reasoning given by the chief executive," and also commented that banning foreign lawyers would not undermine defendants' rights and freedom of legal representation in Hong Kong. Dawes also said that he believed the situation would not damage Hong Kong's judicial independence.[97]

In December 2022, after the NPCSC allowed the Chief Executive to grant or deny permission for defendants to hire foreign lawyers, the HKBA said that it believed the Chief Executive would use the permission "in a way that fosters the public's trust in upholding the rule of law."[98]

However, the Standing Committee of the NPC did not include interpreting the NSL on the forthcoming meeting agenda in December,[99] which pro-Beijing members then u-turned by saying the interpretation might not be necessary.[100] [101] Hong Kong's High Court then adjourned the national security trial of Lai in December to September 2023, acknowledging Beijing has yet to determine whether he can be defended by an overseas lawyer of his choice.[102] Hong Kong Immigration Department, on the other hand, had withheld Owen’s application for an extension of his work visa.[103]

On Monday 12 August 2024, the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal upheld the conviction of Lai and six other defendants for taking part in an unauthorised procession in 2019, thereby sparking an international furore as to whether foreign judges, in particular Lord Neuberger (former President of the UK Supreme Court) should continue their presence in the Hong Kong judicial system.[104] Lai was in any case being held in prison serving a five-year sentence for lease terms violations and also pending national security charges.[105]
