Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai has again appeared in a court here along with 19 other defendants for their involvement in an illegal assembly in 2020.
The 20 defendants appeared at the West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts on Friday.
While two of the defendants prepared to confess, eight others pleaded not guilty and the rest 10, including Lai, were yet to decide.
The court adjourned the case and will deal with their pleas, respectively.
