Li Zhiying, the founder of Next Media Group, was accused of colluding with foreign powers to endanger national security and was charged with violating the "Hong Kong National Security Law". In addition, he has been sued for breaching leases and defrauding the Science and Technology Park Company. He is involved in two cases. Both were refused bail. Li Ke went to the High Court to apply for bail in both cases yesterday (23rd) and finally approved Li Ke to leave on bail.

Former Member of the Legislative Council, He Chun-yan, stated on a radio program today (24) that since the police will not complete the investigation until April next year, if Li Zhiying is unsuccessful this time, he will be detained until 2022, so he will do his best to apply for bail.

He also believes that the current case is only at the stage of accusation, and legally, it should not be detained for a long time.

He also expressed that he was not worried about Li Zhiying's absconding, saying that the government had already monitored Li Zhiying's every move.

"Smuggling must not be possible, as far as I know, he must not be able to, and he thinks he should stay in Hong Kong."

Li Zhiying's friend and former Legislative Council Member He Junren revealed that during Li Zhiying's detention earlier, he enjoyed reading time and was able to take a shower in cold water. His physical and mental condition was unexpectedly good.

However, he pointed out that the police will not complete the investigation until April next year. If Li Zhiying is not successfully released on bail this time, he is estimated to be detained until 2022, that is, during the trial of the case before he can leave.

He emphasized that the case is currently only at the stage of prosecution, and the circumstances of the case are not even essential. Legally speaking, it should not be detained for a long time.

"Being trapped in the face, don't you cry, what about the assumption of innocence?"

He said frankly that many people are not optimistic about Li Zhiying's bail, "because the nailing is so good, the government does not want him to bail." However, he believes that a little knowledge of Hong Kong law can also infer that the judge is willing to accept Li Zhiying's bail.

But Li Zhiying once hesitated about whether to apply for bail, but considering his family, handling the company's business and the next trial next year, it would be very troublesome to apply to a lawyer by then, so he proposed conditions to discuss the bail conditions with the judge.

"The Judge of the National Security and Law Department is under great pressure, but we are trying our best to fight."

Asked as Li Zhiying’s guarantor, would he be worried about him abandoning his bail and absconding.

He Junren said with a smile that he would lose 100,000 yuan by then and be held responsible, but he is not worried about Li Zhiying's departure from Hong Kong, because the court had confiscated his passport earlier than in the case of Li Zhiying's intimidation of Oriental Press reporters.

He said that Li Zhiying has religious beliefs, his ideals and will are firm, even if he has to pay the price of freedom, he is still eager to pay for Hong Kong; and the government has already monitored Li Zhiying’s every move, "Smuggling is definitely not possible, as I know He definitely won’t, he thinks he should stay in Hong Kong.”

As for Li Zhiying after bail, he shall not accept television, radio or online interviews, and shall not publish posts, comments and messages in paper or online.

He Junren believes that the terms have gray areas. For example, when the Apple program professor said that "all is good for American beef" when cooking food, does it violate the bail conditions?

He revealed that after Li Zhiying is released on bail, he will not post "Merry Christmas" on Twitter, and he will no longer contact unfamiliar people in his life. "It is unnecessary to have a gray area." He also pointed out that during Li Zhiying's detention. , Next Media can still operate as usual, and it is estimated that Apple Daily can continue to operate independently.
