Apple Daily is the only piece of newspaper my family would buy and read since my childhood. It was only HKD 6 when I was in elementary school and it's HKD 10 when I'm in college. This is the end of press freedom. This is gut-wrenching.
4. Apple Daily is a popular newspaper. It ranked 3rd most credible newspaper in the latest poll by a university research institute. People supporting democracy support them as well. Apple daily is murdered by an authoritarian regime, with the latest weaponized legal state.
1. Most of you may not understand how dreadful the closure of Apple Daily means to Hong Kong. Not only to its journalistic landscape, but also to the people and the city itself. This is their last day. They are going to print 1 million copies tomorrow to commerate the fight.
@arnohb112 @appledaily_hk Apply Daily is Hong Kong's long-standing pro-democracy newspaper. It represents the voice of majority Hong Kong people and it is now forced to come to a closure😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
A scary night will be followed by a dark day.#AppleDaily|s last Edition.But also a new martyr in the fight against the enemy of humanity is born.Thank you @appledaily_hk for your sacrifice.We'll #neverforget#neverforgive.We'll #BeWater and #AddOil. We #StandWithHongKong 🇩🇪❤️🇭🇰
Had a dream that Hong Kong started the week with yet more national security law arrests, this time of a pair of academics who hosted Zoom talks with speakers from abroad. Woke up planning to update my NSL arrest spreadsheet, then realised it was a dream ����🙁
That's my faith. I am not religious -- fighting for democracy and human rights is my vocation and dedication. Hope the world can work together to address the threats of CCP and other authoritarian regimes.

Anyone in HONG KONG interested in trying voice acting today?
I need a few of you to read this script: https://t.co/79aSeI9iJ4
All you need is a phone to do it.
This massive arrest is trying to threaten the public who once informally voted and supported these pro-democracy politicians to keep their mouths shut and retreat from supporting the opposition camps of #CCPChina#ccp
