Jimmy Lai, a veteran pro-democracy figure in Hong Kong, pleaded not guilty on
Tuesday to national security charges, as prosecutors accused him of colluding
with American and other foreign officials to destabilize the city and undermine
China’s sovereignty.

Mr. Lai, 76, who founded Apple Daily, a popular antigovernment newspaper, was
arrested in 2020, becoming one of the first prominent targets of a national
security law imposed by Beijing to crush the opposition. Mr. Lai faces up to
life in prison if convicted of national security offenses, and his trial is seen
as a test of the independence of the city’s judiciary.

As Mr. Lai, who was wearing a navy blazer and a white shirt, entered the
courtroom, he smiled and waved to his wife and three of his children, who sat in
the gallery, before taking his seat in a dock encased by glass.

: 

An earlier version of this article misstated how many of Mr. Lai’s children
attended the trial. It was three children, not two.
