Prosecution witness Wayland Chan says Jimmy Lai steered passage of US Hong Kong Safe Harbour Act to allow residents at risk of persecution to seek asylum in US.
When a man offered to have Dr Walton Li’s ex-wife murdered in return for HK$800,000 in 1998, the hospital chief called the police. Iu Shui-tai was sent to prison for making the hoax offer.
Wayland Chan admits he lied when he told police that Lai’s right-hand man instructed him to cease lobbying efforts after implementation of national security law.
