Hong Kong (AFP) ā Hong Kong pro-democracy tycoon Jimmy Lai pleaded not guilty Tuesday to "sedition" and "collusion" charges in a high-profile national security trial that could see him jailed for life.
The charges against Lai ā- founder of the now-shuttered popular Chinese-language tabloid Apple Daily ā- revolve around the newspaper's publications, which supported pro-democracy protests and criticised Beijing's leadership.
The 76-year-old is accused of two counts of colluding with foreign forces by calling for international sanctions against Chinese and Hong Kong officials.
"Not guilty," Lai said in English for each of the three charges read out.
