My dearest friend, famous Hong Kong singer @hoccgoomusic is being arrested for publishing inciting materials.

She is the most vocal artist in the HK movement. She spoke in front of the US Congress and the United Nations to decry Beijing’s crackdown.

Please #StandWithHongKong

When free press is the focal point of human rights discussion this year, CCP keeps charging journalists and media that dare to challenge them and speak the truth. Among many others, the arrests of Denise Ho, Margaret Ng are prime examples. RELEASE THEM!

Ronson Chan, the President of the Hong Kong Journalist Association and a senior admin of Stand News HK, delivered a speech yesterday at the HKJA annual dinner. He stressed the importance of press freedom as a pillar of Hong Kong’s success, drawing repercussions from Beijing.

Singer Denise Ho & revered barrister Margaret Ng (now 73) were arrested. They were trustees of 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund, the largest organisation offering financial & legal aid to those persecuted by the regime. Beijing declares war on those supporting the democratic movement

[Sunny Cheung @SunnyCheungky]

@StandNewsHK is the largest pro-democracy media remaining after the fall of Apple Daily. Its reports reveal the government’s corrupted behaviors and the agency is thus considered subversive by the authority. Beijing seeks to control the flow of information among the public.

[Benedict Rogers 羅傑斯 @benedictrogers]

“These arrests are nothing short of an all-out assault on the freedom of the press in #HongKong, coming just one day after #JimmyLai and six former #AppleDaily journalists received similar charges," said @hk_watch CEO @benedictrogers

Another morning, another gut-wrenching development in Hong Kong

[Hong Kong Free Press HKFP @hkfp]

Over 200 officers were deployed as police search the online media's office in Kwun Tong, with a warrant issued under Schedule 1 of the Implementation Rules for Article 43 of the national security law.

The warrant granted police the authority to seize journalistic materials.

[Hong Kong Free Press HKFP @hkfp]

Local media cited sources as saying deputy assignment editor Ronson Chan - who also chairs the Hong Kong Journalists Association - and former editor-in-cheif Chung Pui-kuen were among those apprehended.

BREAKING: #HongKong national security police arrested six current and former senior staff members of @StandNewsHK on Wednesday morning on suspicion of breaching the colonial-era Crimes Ordinance by conspiring to publish seditious publication. Photo: Stand News FB live screenshot.

[Hong Kong Free Press HKFP @hkfp]

The raid comes a day after a fresh charge related to alleged seditious publications was levied against ex-Apple Daily staff.

On Dec 3, security chief Chris Tang accused the news outlet of "biased, smearing & demonising" reporting about the city's smart prison initiative.
