Desks. Empty chairs. Items left behind. Three years on, the #AppleDaily newsroom looks like everyone just stepped out -- except they didn't. They were forced out. And #JimmyLai, the #AppleDaily6, and dozens of others were arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned for the journalism that happened inside these walls. https://t.co/QddskZMiMw

On the 31st anniversary of #AppleDaily's founding, #JimmyLai sits alone in a Hong Kong prison cell, sentenced for his commitment to carrying on the fight for truth and freedom. "We have to fight. Otherwise, we will lose everything. If we lose freedom, we will lose everything," he said. He fought. So did the #AppleDaily6, who together received more than 50 years in prison for journalism. Apple Daily is gone. But the fight isn't over.

📰 On the 31st anniversary of #AppleDaily's founding, we remember the #AppleDaily6. On Feb. 9, 2026, as #JimmyLai was sentenced, six of his senior journalists received crushing prison terms — not for wrongdoing, but for doing their jobs: editing, reporting, and publishing the news. Together, they were handed more than 50 years in prison. For journalism. These sentences are designed to send a message: challenge the Chinese Communist Party's grip on #HongKong, and you will be destroyed. They mark the collapse of the rule of law and the erasure of the freedoms Hong Kongers were promised. Journalism is not a crime. The Apple Daily 6 must be freed immediately, their convictions quashed — alongside Jimmy Lai and every political prisoner still behind bars in Hong Kong. #FreeJimmyLai

📰 Thirty-one years ago, #AppleDaily launched with this advert showing its founder, #JimmyLai's, determination to report the truth despite arrows piercing his body. Lai remains composed, takes a bite of the apple, and says,: "An apple a day, no one can fool me." 🍎📰 Today, Apple Daily remains shut down after its bank accounts were frozen, senior staff arrested, and assets seized. Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for national security offenses. Six other former employees remain behind bars. #FreeJimmyLai

An exhibition of collected archives from Hong Kong’s defunct newspaper #AppleDaily is now open in Taipei. Organizers #PulseHKNews said that they hope that the exhibition of the paper's history would allow visitors to reflect on what Apple Daily meant to the Hong Kong, while keeping faith in democracy and freedom alive.

Among those ~2000: ex #AppleDaily publisher #JimmyLai, barrister Chow Hang-tung, trade unionist Lee Cheuk-yan and former student leader @joshuawongcf. Campaigners also cite Australian citizen #GordonNg, sentenced in 2024 to seven years and three months as one of the #HongKong47.

In "The Troublemaker," @MarkLClifford, president of @theCFHK, describes how #JimmyLai responded to his arrest and the raid on #AppleDaily: the paper ramped up printing eightfold, selling 550,000 copies the next day. Lai himself told his staff, "Compromise is not what we established this company for. We just go on doing what we do, there is no balance." That same unbreakable spirit sustains him today, even as Lai remains in a #HongKong prison cell after more than five years in solitary confinement, serving a 20-year sentence for telling the truth. As President Trump meets Xi Jinping in #Beijing, we urge @POTUS to honor Lai's courage and sacrifice by making his immediate and unconditional release the top priority. #FreeJimmyLai https://t.co/zBNw4PuPN7

Thirteen senators, Democrats and Republicans, have introduced a resolution urging President Trump to push for the release of political prisoners during his upcoming visit to China. The resolution names #AppleDaily publisher #JimmyLai, Pastor Jin Mingri, Pastor Gao Quanfu and his wife Pang Yu, and Dr. Gulshan Abbas, all held for peacefully exercising fundamental freedoms. @SenTimKaine put it plainly: "When President Trump meets with Xi Jinping, he must push for the release of [these individuals] and reaffirm the United States' commitment to human rights." We agree. As @POTUS heads to #Beijing in the coming weeks, we call on him to do exactly that and to ensure #JimmyLai and the others are not left behind. https://t.co/mBsHNUwQ1v

When #JimmyLai’s #AppleDaily was forcibly shut down by #HongKong authorities in June 2021, more than 500 police officers raided the newsroom, searched journalists’ desks, and seized computers and reporting materials. Within days, one of Asia’s largest pro-democracy newspapers was silenced forever, marking a devastating blow to press freedom and the rule of law in Hong Kong. As President Trump prepares for his upcoming trip to #Beijing, we urge @POTUS to raise Jimmy Lai’s case directly with Chinese leaders and secure his immediate release. Standing up for journalists and democratic values must remain a central part of America’s engagement with China.

For @WSJopinion, our president @MarkLClifford & WSJ columnist @crovitz — both former directors of Next Digital, parent of #JimmyLai's #AppleDaily newspaper — warn that the #HongKong regime's swoop to seize Lai's "offense-related" assets show that the city has become unsafe for business: "The regime insists that it’s business as usual in Hong Kong. It isn’t. "Businesses know better than to invest in a place where private assets are seized on the whims of the Chinese Communist Party." https://t.co/gjL1LHlsYV
