#AppleDaily has been murdered for several months. The gap it left in #HongKong has been deeply felt. How was it like working for such a controversial media? How is like for their former staff now? Watch this #NHK documentary to find out.

Thank you NHK for preserving what #HK loves, which was destroyed by an uncivilised tyrant.

#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

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.

In a nutshell, #CCP accuses the now defunct #AppleDaily of making people hate the government and #Beijing. Nope, people hate you because you are an a**hole - you beat us, shot us, rape us, make up crimes and throw our elected representatives into prison without trials, kills everything we hold dear.

#HongKong under the sham “national security law”, one year on…
-
Civil organisations we hold dear were dismantled, our representatives thrown in prison or forced into exile, #CCP slapping on its flag everywhere in the tortured city…

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.

Thank you #Canada, for showing that #HongKongers who stand for free and democratic values have friends in the world to count on.

Basically, #HongKong is seen as no different from #China. It’s business friendly environment has crumpled thanks to #CCP’s interference and crackdown. Harsher days for ordinary #HongKongers to be expected. // #UK #USA #democracy #censorship #pressfreedom #election

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 :(

The world press freedom index are determined by a few indicators by the Reporter Without Border - political, economic, legislative, social, security. Being a reporter in #HongKong incurs high security risk now, with so many imprisoned, arrested, prosecuted, brutalized, and many more having fled.
