香港高等法院周一听取了媒体大亨黎智英及其前苹果日报高管的求情论据。检察官表示，黎智英的健康状况稳定，且单独监禁系其自愿。辩方称其未对医疗待遇提出任何投诉。
78岁的黎智英是已停刊的苹果日报创始人，他是北京于2020年6月实施国家安全法后首位被定罪的知名人士。首席执行官亲选的法官裁定，黎智英在勾结外国势力成为犯罪后，继续利用其小报式报纸和政治联系煽动外国干预及对本地和中央政府的制裁。
黎智英自2020年12月被拘留以来，一直在押。他面临至少10年监禁，最重可判终身监禁，如果法官认定他是勾结阴谋的“主犯”。
法庭上还有苹果日报的六名前高级主管和两名年轻说客，他们在黎智英审判开始前已认罪，承认一项与外国势力勾结的共谋罪。
检察官指出，黎智英‘从未就荔枝角收押所的医疗待遇提出任何投诉’。求情程序预计持续最多四天，南华早报将提供最新更新。
此案涉及国家安全法，凸显香港媒体自由与北京控制间的紧张关系。黎智英的案件备受国际关注，包括美国前官员如迈克·蓬佩奥和迈克·彭斯。
