Prosecutors successfully claim criticism of Hong Kong crackdown by US and
UK shows Cheung Kim-hung has links to foreign political groups
A Hong Kong newspaper executive on trial for national security offences had his bail denied in part because of comments made by Dominic Raab after his arrest, which prosecutors cited as evidence of a “close association” with foreign political groups.
The ruling handed down on 5 November against Cheung Kim-hung, the former chief executive of
Apple Daily’s parent company Next Digital Media, also cited the US awarding of a congressional medal to Cheung and his colleagues, and a statement by the US state department.
