They don't even bother to hide it anymore. New #HongKong: if you're pro-establishment, you can do whatever you want, the police, the lawmakers, the judiciary, everyone will cover for you. If you have a problem with this, be damned.

#CCP's crackdown is getting crazier and crazier, that's all we can say. Months ago it has been claiming that Apple Daily must be shut down "by law", the law it is referring to one that descended on #HongKong without any popular consent, completely bypassing the legislative and even executive branch of #HK. The only pro-democracy newspaper is likely to be gone in the matter of days, but we know CCP won't stop here. Thank you, Apple Daily, for holding the fort for so long. You deserve the respect of everyone who believes in #pressfreedom

Amidst another arrest earlier today of an opinion writer of the paper, #AppleDaily has decided to stop printing by tomorrow, its website will come to an end too. The best-selling, the only pro-democracy newspaper in #HongKong shut within a week, this sh** is virtually unheard of in the whole world. Some say #CCP is in a hurry to close the paper down before July 1, 100th anniversary of the founding of the party and also of #HongKong's handover, which to us, marks the beginning of #HK's death.

#Pressfreedom is a thing of the past for #HongKong, but journalists aren't. So how can they carry on reporting in the #CCP controlled #HK?

Did Zhao Lijian and Hua Chunying break the "#nationalsecuritylaw" too if they're on Twitter? The only crime committed by #JimmyLai is telling the truth.

Is the virus a lab leak? We can't say. But it is clear that the CCP takes advantage of the pandemic to exert its normally excessive control even more. #China has no #freedomofpress to begin with, and during the crackdown on journalists had intensified. This dirty regime has too much to hide.

With the spiralling madness in #HongKong these days, we wonder... what would #AppleDaily say if they were still around? They would point out the lies and arrogance of the #CCP puppet government, they would expose the web of political networks among officials attending the stupid Witman Hung birthday parties, they would certainly report on the impossible sufferings #HKers are put thru with these crazy lockdown rules.
-
What does the demise of Apple Daily mean? That the CCP would bend to nothing to crush its opposition, and #HK serves as an example to the world.

The detainment and jailing of journalists in the new #HongKong all hangs on an invisible “red lines” set out under the so-called “National Security Law”. At the end of the day, the city now functions under the rule of man, one man in particular, than the rule of law we have prided ourselves on for decades. We urge our allies who believe in the #freedomofpress to act in solidarity with #HK’s finest professionals.

A year has passed since the last #WorldPressFreedomDay (where #HongKong ranked no. 80 in the world), and #CCP had dealt one blow to our #pressfreedom after another.

Our journalists are still trying their best to do what they can for our home, toeing the invisible red line of the #nationalsecuritylaw. The "anti-fake news" bill is within sight and internet censorship is not far away. #HongKongers, buckle up :(
