News by : (Daily Sun) -

Lai, founder of the now-defunct Apple Daily, requires a heart monitoring device before proceedings can resume.

Defence lawyer Robert Pang revealed Lai experienced palpitations and a sensation of collapsing but stressed his client wished to avoid focusing on his condition.

Pang told AFP the defence requested Lai’s exemption from attending closing arguments as he isn’t required to speak.

Judge Esther Toh assured Lai could voice discomfort without disrupting proceedings.

Judge Alex Li deemed it prudent to adjourn until Monday pending medical arrangements.

He additionally faces sedition charges over 161 opinion pieces published under his name.

Former US President Donald Trump claimed on Fox News he previously discussed Lai’s case with China’s Xi Jinping.

Lai’s British citizenship has prompted his son Sebastien to urge UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to intervene.

Prosecutors presented evidence alleging Lai’s influence networks in the US, UK and Taiwan.

Apple Daily shuttered in 2021 following police raids and staff arrests.

“His health worsened after he was taken into custody, but I think his spirit is strong, and I hope he can persist,“ the employee told AFP. - AFP
