We have seen how #HKPoliceTerrorist targeting journalist, attacking them, using flash light to block the cameras, insulting them, and unnecessary arrest them. This court does not represent common law already. It has been fully infiltrated by #CCP and only sentence as #CCPChina pleases.

This time, #HKPolice & #HKGov has gone much further to undermine the #freedom in #HK. It wasn't just an attack on #FreedomOfPress but also not allowing people to know certain news.
They also gain their power, not letting 80 articles to be published. No 1 knows what they are about, how those articles threaten national security. With that said, journalists can be arrested anytime without publishing anything at all.
They accused the 5 executives staffs to be criminals but they claimed that they didn't know what they have committed yet. Yet, John Li, could still warn banks & other journalists not to interact with them.
For police searching for key words about #HKBeWater2021 was trying to threaten #HKers outside of HK & those who supports the movement. At first, it sounded like a joke that the #NSL has jurisdiction all over the world. Now, they are really showing it.

Last year, #CarrieLam claimed that #NationalSecurityLaw would only affect a small portion of people. Today, John Li said buying newspaper might commit #NSL. In fact, it's more than just a matter of undermining #FreedomOfPress. But #HKGov is using #NSL to freeze a listed company & staffs not being able to get their salary which will affect hundreds of families.
After taking down @appledailyhk, #HKGov will be targeting other news outlets, yellow economy, & political KOL, and finally, activists outside of #HK. This is certainly a security issue throughout the globe.

The rapid decline of press freedom in #HongKong. Hong Kong ousts Economist journalist Sue-Lin Wong without explanation, in latest blow to press freedom https://hongkongfp.com/2021/11/13/hong-kong-ousts-economist-journalist-sue-lin-wong-without-explanation…
#HK has denied a work visa for a journalist from Economist. It's no surprised that the #HKGov has become more like a Gov't in China. However, driving journalist out of the city also means that they are trying to cast away anything that can keep them in check. Without foreign journalists, it is possible for HK to become the next North Korea. Their next move to transform the city is what's worrisome.

Crackdown on Stand News is China's First Step in Controlling the World's Narrative, says Former #NextDigital Director
The day after Stand News was forced to shut down by Hong Kong Police, Hong Kong Democracy Council (#HKDC) held a rapid response virtual briefing on December 30, 2021, in which the speakers urged the international community to closely monitor the developing situation.
Not only is freedom of press under attack in Hong Kong, they said, the incident also signifies important future challenges, such as the possibility of China manipulating the world in the future.
The invited speakers were #ThomasKellogg, executive director of the Center for Asian Law at Georgetown University; and #MarkClifford, former independent non-executive director of Next Digital.
As a former director of Next Media, Clifford saw firsthand the government's oppression against Apple Daily, which began even before the National Security Law (#NSL) took effect on June 30, 2020. The crackdown against Stand News had been rumored to be coming for some time; even so, when it finally became reality, Clifford felt it deeply.
"What's happening at Stand News is tragic," Clifford said, "Perhaps not a complete surprise, because we have seen what happened at Apple Daily. It's extraordinary when you're on the other end of state power - unchecked state power. In a city like Hong Kong, it's hard to believe."
The arrests and forced closure of Stand News happened soon after the conclusion of the legislative elections. Hong Kong Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Erick Tsang had twice written to the Wall Street Journal to criticize their reporting of the Hong Kong Elections, even calling its editorials "sickening".
Clifford said that this had not been a coincidence; rather, it reflects the Chinese Communist Party's ambitions to control the world's narrative.

With #NationalSecurityLaw, journalists in #HK can never be sure if they are safe or not. #HKGov is also using #NSL to target specific pro-dem media. Without #freedomofpress, #HK as an international city & financial hub is no doubt being in jeopardy.

Another journalist arrested for allegedly conspiring to publish seditious materials. What's ridiculous is this journalist had actually worked for government news outlet, RTHK, and was also a producer at TVB news.
