Jimmy Lai testified in his trial that he entered journalism to promote freedom following the Tiananmen Square crackdown, emphasizing knowledge as a pathway to liberty.
Lai stated, 'The core values of Apple Daily are actually the core values of the people of Hong Kong,' highlighting democracy, freedom of speech, and rule of law.
Despite being imprisoned under the national security law, Lai asserted his opposition to violence and clarified he does not support the idea of Hong Kong independence.
The international community remains concerned about Lai's situation, as various diplomats attended his trial, with the UK Prime Minister calling for Lai's release.
