China's media crackdown in Hong Kong is beyond comprehension
“But we, as supporters of democracy, must not give up. A free and fair press protects the people's right to know, no matter the country or region.”

The end of an era.
Apple Daily had earlier said it would decide whether or not to close the publication at a meeting on Friday, but the closure announcement was made today instead.

Apart from losing #AppleDaily🍎 newspaper, we're also losing some of the best YouTube channels in Hong Kong

“It speaks to every believer in freedom and to every journalist and media organisation that this is what the Chinese Communist Party is like. It's a threat to our values, and we should recognise it as that.”

Apple Daily sold all 1,000,000 physical copies of its newspaper on its last day. A new record for Hong Kong.
While many newspaper businesses are dying because news media is going digital, this newspaper has died because #CCPChina🇨🇳 killed it.

Thanks @JoeBiden for supporting #HongKong.
#CCP will stop at nothing if it can act with impunity.
It is time for the United States, the only country founded based on the idea of freedom and liberty, to ACT.

Apple Daily chief editorial writer Fung Wai-kwong, pen-name 盧峯, is arrested by HK police in airport as he was departing for London. This is a serious concern and we fear the window for people to leave Hong Kong freely is closing. Urgent action is needed from @DominicRaab twitter.com/hkcnews_com/st…
