Hong Kong democracy activist Jimmy Lai denies inciting hatred towards China in trial
HONG KONG - Pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai said on Thursday he was against violence and had not sought to incite hatred against China and Hong Kong authorities by calling for protests to defend basic rights, speaking in his second day of testimony in a landmark national security trial.
Under questioning, Lai was asked about three articles, including one he wrote in 2019 in which he warned that if an extradition law was passed, another "June 4th massacre" could happen in Hong Kong -- referring to the killings by Chinese soldiers of demonstrators in and around Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989.
Lai denied asking Apple Daily’s ex-associate publisher Chan Pui-man to compile a "shitlist" of Hong Kong officials who should be sanctioned.
