HK Prosecutors Begin Final Arguments in Jimmy Lai Security Case

Hong Kong prosecutors began making their final arguments for convicting former media mogul Jimmy Lai on national security charges, in a case closely monitored by Western governments.

The hearing resumed Monday after proceedings originally set for Thursday were delayed, first by heavy rain and then to provide Lai with medical treatment. US President Donald Trump threw a spotlight on the trial last week, after saying he’d raised the case in talks with China and pledging to do “everything we can” to help.
