HONG KONG—A Hong Kong court on Thursday adjourned to Dec. 13 the high-profile trial of tycoon and CCP critic Jimmy Lai, who faces several charges of collusion with foreign countries under a Beijing-imposed national security law.
The postponement of the trial by three High Court judges comes three days after Hong Kong authorities asked the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) rubber-stamp legislature body to decide whether to block foreign lawyers from national security cases, including a British barrister, Timothy Owen, who now leads Lai’s legal team.
