HONG KONG—A Hong Kong court dismissed a bid by the legal team for jailed businessman and pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai to end his national security trial, with a panel of judges ruling on July 25 that prosecutors appeared to have sufficient evidence to support all three charges against him.
Mr. Lai, 76, founder of the now-shuttered pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and a lesser charge of conspiracy to publish seditious material.
