Some 500 policemen raided the offices of pro-democracy paper Apple Daily in Hong Kong, alleging its reports breached a national security law.
Police also arrested the editor-in-chief and four other executives at their homes and froze HK$18m ($2.3m; £1.64m) of assets owned by three companies linked to Apple Daily.
The paper is owned by Jimmy Lai, who is in jail on a string of charges.
Apple Daily is known to be critical of the mainland Chinese leadership.

Police is right
Let's go Brandon.. Thanks to the security law, HK is safe and peaceful now
We really need to go to war with China.
Soutien à joshua wong 🇫🇷
British Subjects are no longer Hong Kongers and are no longer Chinese. British Subjects need to be sent to the UK.
British Hong Kong Is Over.
Like Black Lives Matter Hong Kong Was another victim of the atrocious Western Colonialism and the awful British Opium War.
Repopulate Hong Kong with true Chinese.
Hongkong Apple Daily and other biased local media was spreading and instigating hatred messages and misleading information to brainwash the public, such situation was similar to Nazi propaganda that is now banned in Germany and other countries.
The western media didn't tell both the truth of the above and terrorism acted by the pro-US rioters and politicians to damage, hurt and even kill other innocent and peaceful public who did only come out to request for stopping such damaging and terrorism act in Hong Kong.
Thus, such pro-US rioters and politicians were arrested and prosecuted by the Hong Kong government under the National Security Law in order to prohibit hypocrisy politicians who was abusing freedom of speech to spread rumors, smear, instigate the brainwashed public to violate general regulations of the public safety.
Yeah !! Democracy!!!, how about you also report those that these activist burn alive, damaged all the government building and beating up on innocent people ????
🙏
HKers staying abroad should be united and work harder to push their politicians and gov to sanction 777 and her mob and help HK's sovereignty since no more Sino Brit Joint Declaration nor 1 country 2 systems.
shut down all confucious schools and let the CCP taste its own medicine.
My heart filled with gratitude and appreciation to Dr Imhans on youtube for curing my HIV with his natural roots and herbs. Am now perfectly okay. God bless you for me.kindly email drimhans@gmail.com.
Why most western major media talk so much fake news or do cover-up but nothing of China Cxxminal Party destroying the world's free Chinese media Apple Daily?
CCP is repeating the same ruthless and irresponsible lies and cover-up as the Wuhan virus to hide the leaking of Taishan atomic plant stationed near Hong Kong which only got exposed by a France firm!
CCP police raided Apple Daily, the only critic in HK, arrested 5 editors on top of the boss Jimmy Lai under the evil CCP's freestyle national security law. Yesterday HK today US & World!
BBC please ask Russia to punish the UK government and free the UK people.
Gutless CCP cowards at work. CCP infants that can't handle a little negative press.
prosperous and strong; democratic; culturally advanced; harmonious. Chinese need prosperous and strong first. Does anyone read Apple Daily? Apple Daily is shit.
The smutty low-grade paper is finally shutting down tomorrow. The paper of choice for those that like long lens up an 18 year old's skirt to make money will finally shut its doors tomorrow. Hong Kongers are rejoicing, because this day has finally come. Wonder how the western media will report this. a) no reports at all and pretend nothing has happened. b) China's fault, everything is China's fault nowadays. Their existence is just enough to trigger a blame. The fact is, the western world are in a fit of jealousy. Every moan and whinge is just their excuse.
bbc的媒体人制作假新闻被新疆人搞到法庭,然后偷跑到台湾怎么不见你报道?天天盯着这些假新闻巴巴,恶心
I'm sad that this has not had more news coverage in the western world. Today was Apple daily's last day at the office. We take freedom of speech for granted, now in HK you cannot even print news.
HK is dying
China …a police state eager to show the 1,43 bilions lost souls that the law is applyed correctly.
What is written in the costitution is for historians only.
The People's Rep. of China is everything x whatever cause ECCEPT THE PEOPLE…Making sure the 4000 years misery for the people is here to stay.The comunists COULD NOT WAIT 2047 they need to kill people freedom earlier.
If lies are democracy , I rather choose no democracy. When riots and all do not happen in their country they can claim so much DEMOCRACY. But when rioters storm Washington and get shot they never mention that they themselves are doing the same thing or maybe worse. Lol
China has exported over 600,000,000 doses of covid vaccine to the developing world free of charge to date while the UK and the US has done nothing up to now, except for empty promises, however, you will not be informed of this through the BBC
Well done, the shut down the Apple CIA Daily. It is a CIA controlled media.
Why not allowing bad apple to free UK, ScotXIT, NI And Wale???
GOOD JOB China! Also you should block BBC, hopeless fake news maker.
What UK can do nothing just watch and enjoy the show on sidelines UK because you are a sideliner not a global power like China USA Russia

By all means keep them in prison forever.. these people are national traitors.
Best news ever, send them to jail for good.!!!
Calling for a foreign country to sanction their own country is obviously treason.
When will Britain stop persecuting human rights in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales? I strongly condemn the British government for oppressing the freedom, democracy and human rights of these three countries! Pay close attention to this!
when can you free my baby Trump 's speech??
BBC is a joke
Should do it earlier.
Hong Kong 🇭🇰 we love you
這就叫作:
背靠昔日列強
就能發大狠~~
只是賤英 日己西沈
這些叛徒太不要臉了
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

哈哈哈哈哈哈
這西方資本集團之代理人
及其地下官媒
講了半天得到的結論
還是因為今天中國強大了
你若積弱貧困
人家不會吝惜多踩踏你幾下的
所以中國慶幸有中國共產黨
中共以道德哲學治天下

今日中國物華天寶人傑地靈
中共真是哲學家皇帝的典範
嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻
Hong Kong kicked out it's colonial opium drug dealing oppressors 24 years ago.
Hong Kong to Kowloon is 9km. New Zealand North Island to South Island is 24km.
How close does a country need to be one country?
Good job China, get rid of all NGO and snake oil salesmen.
Those not commie should not be allowed to run just like most nations mostly elect the Christman or hindu or buddhaman
It’s a miracle that the jorno lie allowed to free range and make trillions for so long elsewhere burnt to ashes
It is gratifying to see those who colluded with foreign forces to destabilise HK resulting in the riots last year are now being arrested and to face justice. These people have done untold damage to the people of HK and its economy.
Why BBC invites a wanted suspect on their news. Well, I guess it fits BBC very well.
Look who is talking, a suspect on a run
Responsible world citizens should be responsible of their own words and actions
