Today, 500 political police raided Apple Daily, the most critical newspaper in Hong Kong. The editor-in-chief is arrested for “collusion with foreign forces.”
Independent journalism in HK is a crime and threatens China's "national security." How fragile is the country?

"Help from the international community is also needed — there is too much at stake in Hong Kong for the rest of the world to turn a blind eye. "
Beijing's battle to crush Hong Kong's final freedoms https://t.co/dgMlW6HXjn via @spectator
This is one of the most disgusting attacks on press freedom. Apple Daily is murdered by the Chinese Communist Party because it supports democratic movement.
HK pro-democracy paper Apple Daily announces closure https://t.co/3G8Kkie4l6
Saddened and disturbed to see the sentences handed down to Martin Lee & other pro-democracy leaders for free and peaceful protest: another sign of Beijing's assault on the rule of law.
At the same time as Merkel and Macron are talking to Xi on climate change, a Hong Kong court is sentencing 9 pro-democracy figures, including an opposition media boss, to jail.
The sentences of Hong Kong's democracy activists on politically-motivated charges are unacceptable and incompatible with the non-violent nature of their actions. We call for the release of those detained and imprisoned for exercising fundamental freedoms. #StandWithHongKong
The Hong Kong authorities’ decision to target leading pro-democracy figures for prosecution must stop.
We will continue to stand together with the people of Hong Kong
Mr.Gao once again showing his ignorance, poor manner and distributing misinformation on a BBC show, which is banned in China. Typical Beijing mouthpiece quality.
Hearing reports that #Myanmar/#Burma soldiers are now using RPGs in #Yangon & other cities
What kind of army uses RPGs against unarmed protesters?
Unbelievably outrageous. This is not an army, it's a criminal gang unleashing terror. The day will come when they will face justice
#AndyIsMissing#save12hkyouths
Andy Li was among 8 HKyouth returned to HK on 21/3 from mainland China.
After a court appearance on 24/3, Andy is missing.
We urge the #HK government to confirm Andy’s whereabouts & guarantee his personal safety & his rights are protected.
To retaliate against democratic countries' sanctions, I suggest that all the family members of the CCP's leadership should abolish their foreign passports to show their determination and patriotism.
It does not make sense when they keep escaping to "hostile foreign forces."
