Hong Kong online news outlet Initium announced it was relocating to Singapore on Tuesday citing fading press freedoms, the first local media to quit the financial hub as authorities crack down on dissent.

The announcement came the same day that veteran broadcaster Steve Vines and Kacey Wong, one of the city's best known political artists, also separately confirmed they had left Hong Kong because of declining freedoms.

"We believe no matter where we are, as long as the freedom in our hearts is connected, we can create larger space for freedom," Wu wrote. Many of the city's most prominent pro-democracy activists have been arrested or jailed. Others have fled overseas.

How can we not escape when concentration camp is coming for us... See XinJiang... CCP_is_terrorist

That's not surprised. No more Freedom and Democracy in HongKong now. HK is RuleByLaw and become the NewBerlin under the NationalSecurityLaw. OneCountryTwoSystemIsDead. HongKongers, even non-HKer not in HK is suffering in that law. StandWithHongKong FreeHongKong

The national security Law destroyed democracy and freedoms in Hong Kong. All the pro-democracy press will be banned and only artists who support the Gov can be survived. StandWithHongKong

Civilization has become farther and farther away from us HongKong . Since then, the civilized city has been ruled by a group of barbarians NationalSecurityLaw CCPLiedPeopleDied OneCountryTwoSystemIsDead HKPoliceState CCPGlobalThreat

Not new for people living under the control of CCP, the escape has lasted for decades, from China to Tibet to Xinjiang and now Hong Kong

Creativity and press freedom are natural enemies of CCP. There is no choice but to find a way out as Hong Kong will face much stiffer suppression while Beijing enjoys success over the first “pilot” year of NationalSecurityLaw. StandwithHongKong
