One of the largest circulating newspaper in Hong Kong and the biggest pro democracy media may shut down this Friday. The existential crisis of @appledaily_hk brought by NSL will have a lasting impact of other smaller pro democracy outlets. This is serious. twitter.com/tinssoldier/st…
Pro-democracy shops in Hong Kong supporting @appledaily_hk by offering the news outlet's employees free meals. Customers have also bought stacks of Apple Daily newspapers to be distributed for free at "yellow" shops. Resistance is still alive and strong at the community level.
The board of Next Digital Ltd., which publishes Hong Kong’s @AppleDaily_HK, will meet today to decide whether to shut down the pro-democracy newspaper. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The men barely knew each other before crossing the South China Sea to Taiwan. ‘We were scared to death,’ one said of their journey. Ray+Tommy stayed in New York and rented a basement apartment together. Both want to attend college and join the US military.wsj.com/articles/how-f…
Apple Daily newspaper has enough cash on hand to continue operating as normal only for a couple of weeks, according to a person familiar, after authorities used a sweeping national security law to freeze company assets and arrest top editors and executives.bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Spying and snitching on your colleagues, neighbours, friends and family. A common tactic Communist regime use to stifle opposition and generate fear and distrust. Despicable yet very effective. But we must keep calm and carry on. twitter.com/maryhui/status…
in a city where people now avoid discussing anything related to politics out of fear, hong kongers are now used to subtle social cues to identify and connect with others who share their values twitter.com/stegersaurus/s…
"Publish or Perish" is in the mindset of the remaining free media outlets in Hong Kong. twitter.com/phoebe_kongwy/…
The @StateDeptSpox said the US was deeply concerned by HK authorities' selective use of NSL to arbitrarily target media organizations. The charges of collusion with a foreign country to endanger national security appear to be entirely politically motivated reuters.com/world/asia-pac…
This is the office of an @AppleDaily_HK newspaper editor who was arrested this morning. The flag on the wall says “100% freedom” Those arrested for violating the National Security Law🇨🇳 today could face jail terms from 10 years to life in prison.
The only "tool" that we can see here is the government using National Security Law as a pretext to snuff out press freedom and freedom of information. This is not rule of law but #RulebyLaw #StandWithHongKong twitter.com/hkfp/status/14…
@appledaily_hk An amazing thread about the strong bond between Apple Daily Newspaper and Hong Kongers: twitter.com/NiaoCollective…
Despite Hong Kong police 🇨🇳 confiscating journalists’ computers and considerable journalistic materials after raiding @AppleDaily_HK’s headquarters today, the staff vows to carry on and publish as usual. en.appledaily.com/apple-daily-vo…
Hang in there, Apple Daily. Whether we are in Hong Kong or abroad, we will always support your newspaper. #StandWithHongKong
This is yet another crackdown on the press freedom in Hong Kong. The National Security Law is not a law to achieve "security", but only to turn Hong Kong into an Orwellian state. The international community must not turn a blind eye to this. #StandWithHongKong twitter.com/tomgrundy/stat…
On Censorship “Self-censorship is a response to an environment of fear, to implicit threats of negative consequences for acts of speech and expression that cross vague, undefined red lines. The creation of that environment of fear is the act of censorship.”antd.substack.com/p/a-20th-procr…

No matter our differences, 6.16 demonstrated that Hong Kongers have the ability to collectively work together towards common goals, no matter how large or how small the goal is. #StandWithHongKong
Two years ago today on Jun 16, Two million Hong Kongers collectively came out to protest against the extradition bill and call for Carrie Lam to step down.
Love this "wolf warrior diplomat" artwork created by illustrator James Ferguson, from a recent @FT article.
