Hundreds of police were sent in to detain the editor-in-chief and four other executives at the Apple Daily, and the assets of three linked companies were also frozen.
Those arrested are accused of using “journalistic work to collude with a foreign country.”

China is a disgrace to humanity … Just like any religious terrorisms …
The smutty low grade paper is finally shutting down tomorrow. Hong Kong people are rejoicing. They have waited a long time for this. The paper of choice for those that like to see long lens and cameras up 18 year old's skirts will be no more, but wonder how the western media's "pro democracy" newspaper will be reported. Will they a) stay silent and pretend it never existed or b)Blame China coz everything is China's fault nowadays…
This happened on a day when nobody got robbed,no scams,no rapes,no fights,no drugs,no customs violations or crime of any sort occurred in Hong Kong,so they had 500 police officers sitting around with nothing better to do than raid people who read and write. The qualifications to be a police officer are the same the world over-big,strong and stupid,with an ability to carry out the orders of politicians.
If you think this isn't about to happen here in America you're absolutely about to have a rude awakening
This'll be just the beginning of CCP's aggression if it is not to be stopped.
Apple daily is just a smutty paper that has a long history of selling low class journalism. Will not be missed. Imagine how it must be like to endure such a bunch of self haters. How can the west simply brand them as pro-democracy paper when they are just a low class daily rag? They take money to do the dirty bidding for America. The court case will prove that when all will eventually serve sentences. This view is shared amongst the majority of HK people. It is only the western news outlets turning it into a sad day. In Hong Kong many have waited for this day for a very long time.
These traitors deserve their days in prison. Hope the HK National Security Court will sentence these idiots to the fullest extent of the law.
Coming soon to a Western Democracy near you!
Those who are paid by foreigners to promote unrest in HK should get long jail time long time ago.

The CCP has ended democracy and freedom in Hong Kong. When the value of Hong Kong no longer exists, the Hong Kong dollar should also stop being exchanged for the U.S. dollar, making the CCP regret it.
Pro-riot fake news paper shutdown. Nice!
It's a blow against freedom of the press. Can't wait to see the interview with Julian
Assange to find out what he thinks about this.
Treason is ilegal in almost every country including the west. It’s really comical this isn’t news.
Hong Kong was the Pearl of the Orient under British rule, but died under the rule of the evil Chinese Communist Party
This will be channel 4, when the tories are done with this country.
The death of the West's client journalism in Hong Kong is a good thing. No more vicious China bashing. Good work, HK police!
Question 🙋🏿♂️ why do you care about what is going on in Hong Kong when your own PM shuns rule of law, unlawfully prorogues parliament, lies, cheats, rips up agreements, implements policy to benefit him personally to not the public, etc
“Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed. Everything else is public relations." – George Orwell
Better than the BBC who were so biased in favour of the ccp saying these were dissidents who had broken the law
Collude with a foreign power
Protests are banned in the Uk.
It’s amazing that the Chinese communist party can, on the same day, both further human endeavour by manned space flight and also propel itself into the darkness of ignorance & fear
President Pooh strikes again … must suck to live in abject fear of a President who looks like a flipping disney character but commits genocide like Hitler.
Surely the authorities would have to demonstrate that the journalists were colluding with a specific foreign power, not just making general comments?
the only conspiracy here is the use of "so-called" police to destroy the one bastion of freedom and free-speech by a so-called "self-acclaimed" world power..
Whitewashing (or in this case REDwashing) history, and tyranny does not change history.. it's embarrassing and shows just how hollow and uncertain whenever the CCP has a hissy fit.. like a child bully who's really weak with low self-esteem..
Well done again for showing the world your true colours once again
Meanwhile all news outlets are giving rhetorical drama shows pass off as news. There's been tons of natural disaster. And don't forget the bankers and their satanic buddies setting. A digital world. To treat us like their pets and slaves.
