A few days ago, Li Zhiying, founder of Hong Kong Next Media, was charged with violating Hong Kong’s version of the National Security Law and was detained in Stanley Prison. Yesterday he was released on bail (23). Some media noted that Li Zhiying had to meet a number of bail conditions, including 10 important conditions, such as HKD 10 million in cash and a HKD 300,000 guarantee. During his period of bail, he was not allowed to use social media or travel. The strict conditions were equivalent to house arrest. Li Zhiying was finally able to leave the detention room at 11 p.m.
According to the “Stance News” report, the High Court granted Li Zhiying bail, but the 10 conditions of bail set by the court were very strict. Many Hong Kong media believe that these requests amount to putting Li Zhiying under house arrest and completely silenced, which amounts to “forcing him to remain silent” on the Hong Kong issue until he appears in court on April 16 next. year. Li Zhiying’s 10 bail conditions are listed below:
1. 10 million HKD in cash
2. HK $ 300,000 Personnel Guarantee
3. Do not engage, directly or indirectly, any behavior that could be considered as “soliciting foreign or foreign institutions, organizations or personnel to impose sanctions, blockades or other hostile actions against the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or the People’s Republic of China”.
4. Not having contact with any foreign official
5. Do not accept any form of access
6. Do not publish any article
7. Do not leave Hong Kong and hand over all travel documents.
8. Promise not to use any social network in any way.
9. Do not leave your residence 24 hours a day, unless you report to the police station or appear in court.
10. Report to the police station 3 times a week.
Li Zhiying was previously charged by the authorities with fraud and “the crime of collusion with foreign countries or foreign forces to endanger national security” in violation of the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law. Both cases were not released on bail and will be held for a new trial on April 16 next year. According to the report, Li Zhiying was very calm yesterday when she learned that she did not need pretrial detention and waved to congratulate Christmas: “Merry Christmas.”
