The national security trial of Hong Kong pro-democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai was postponed for the second time on Dec. 13 after his British lawyer was denied a visa extension, according to local reports.
The trial has been pushed back to Sept. 25, 2023, and is expected to last 40 days, pending a decision by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) legislative body on whether foreign lawyers can work on national security cases.
