Former waiter Tong Ying-kit, 24, has pleaded not guilty to charges of terrorism and inciting secession

, as well as an alternative charge of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm. The acts he is accused of occurred on July 1, 2020, shortly after the law was enacted.

His trial was presided over by judges Esther Toh, Anthea Pang and Wilson Chan, picked by city leader Carrie Lam to hear national security cases. Their verdict is expected at 3 p.m. local time . It is also a test of the limits of free speech in the former British colony, as the prosecution and defence argued over the meaning of the slogan, which was ubiquitous during Hong Kong’s mass 2019 protests.
