Hong Kong’s biggest pro-democracy newspaper, Apple Daily, will be putting out its final edition tomorrow, in what’s being seen as a significant blow to press freedom.
Last week, five of the paper’s editors and executives were arrested under Hong Kong’s controversial security law, while its assets and accounts were frozen.
The paper said that meant it would be unable to pay staff or operating costs, effectively forcing it to close.

Stay strong Hong Kong. Never give up. Never surrender to China and the evil CCP criminal government
I feel sad without Apple Daily.
Dare the West not to respect the CCP. Dare the West not to buy Chinese goods
It is good for my dog poops. Finally this CIA mouth piece shut the fxck up.
THEY T FREE TO OPEN SHOP IN UK ! BUT….DO UK ALLOW THEM TO DO SO ???
Apple daily and it's workers can move to London were they can publish what they want
Hk Government reclaiming the land of Apple daily HQ
At this moment Jimmy Lai knew he had Fucked up, publishing all his anti-china lies. Now it's payback time, glad to see the Hong Kong police arresting all the executives as well. They are traitors, have fun sitting in Jail for the rest of your lives.
What about democracy in the occupied Palestine?
Good news. Apple daily should be shut down, and jail up Jimmy forever.
This newspaper is a slave to and a pawn of America + England's colonialism.
should have shut this traitor down long long long long time ago. The same thing will happen in any country. Try this in US, the gov will shut you down IMMEDIATELY under national security act as soon as you show sign of threatening the country's stability. You will definitely be given Freedom of speech, but that doesn't mean you have the freedom to escape your responsibility of speech – especially when your speeches are misleading ones that causing social unrest. To those Hong Kongers who fled to UK, I suggest you try the same thing on UK gov, see what will happen to you. Good luck!
Hopefully, they can all migrate to London where there is desperate need for democracy and a newspaper which supports it
An absolute disgrace BUT please do something about it. Boycott China products. Ask your retailers and service providers to avoid China to support freedom of speech in HK. Write to your MP to ask them to take action TODAY!
But your own PM in the UK doesn't adhere to the rules of democracy, why should anyone else?
If HK is still under the British, this will never HAPPEN. Now the CCP will focus more military power to take over Taiwan soon.
The evil Chinese Communist Party killed freedom of assembly in Hong Kong, then freedom of speech, and then the rule of law. Now they are killing Hong Kong's freedom of press. Hong Kong is no longer an international financial center.
Jimmy Lai using "free press" to incite violence and recruit thugs to terrorize Hong Kong is no excuse. Is time to shut down the damn thing.
I can’t believe the people of Hong Kong are falling for this Apple Daily Foreign backed news.
China government is bullshit.
Please Report more Hong Kong News and Reporting the Truth and True News
Thousands of people queued for buying appledaily newspapers on the street at midnight. Really sad scene. Like a ceremony for goodbye to the last moment of press freedom.
not pro-democracy. pro-sedition. one of the worst newspapers in human history along side the new york times and guardian
"pro-democracy"…lol
Really angry…why can a government kill a free press?
The destruction of free press is yet another symptom of the pernicious reach of fascist states – watch this space
