Apple Daily boycotts police press conferences

Apple Daily announced today (Oct 28) that they will not attend protest-related press conferences held by the Hong Kong Police, until the police start displaying their identification number and the government withdraws the injunction on the disclosure of police personal details (names included).

Apple Daily states that they will continue to acquire information from the police but they refuse to be the mouthpiece of the authorities.

This decision comes after the police immediate suspension of the press conference, after a reporter demanded the police to stop imposing violence on journalists. (Watch video: https://publielectoral.lat/s/guardiansofhongkong/9271)
