Jan 4: On the 6th day of the #JimmyLai case, the prosecution alleges that he is the mastermind behind the "Stand with Hong Kong (SWHK)" team, supporting global advocacy and international alliances. They claim Lai provided financial support and instructed individuals to organize the "Global Call for Action" campaign, urging foreign pressure on China. The team established connections with the US, UK, and Japan to lobby for sanctions. Lai transferred over HKD 118 million to his assistant and donated over HKD 93 million to pro-democracy figures and parties. Trial adjourned until Monday with reduced witness count. #HongKong #FreePoliticalPrisoners

Jan 10 Jimmy Lai's trial: Prosecution presents financial investigation details, including suspicious transactions and alleged funding of political organizations.

The judge emphasizes the court's role in determining the conclusions. Trial to resume next Tuesday with expert witness testimonies. #JimmyLai #freePoliticalprisoners

Jan 16: day 10 of Jimmy Lai's trial. Defense disputes relevance of expert reports to national security charges, while prosecution argues no need to prove Lai's actions caused foreign sanctions. Judge approves expert reports, stating they aid understanding of US actions against Hong Kong and whether they constitute "sanctions, blockades, or other hostile actions" under the National Security Law. Trial continues with the testimony of an accomplice witness.

It seems that the prosecution lacks a direct witness to support their accusations. Instead, they have relied on expert reports to present their case. The absence of a witness raises questions about the strength of the prosecution's evidence.
