appledaily_hk can’t pay for the salary to her staff because her bank accounts are frozen and robbed by Carrielam government.

Apple Daily’s inability to pay employees’ salaries is all because they were unreasonably suppressed by totalitarianism using the evil rules that they claimed 'will only affect a few people', and they are now doing everything to deprive the ppl of any way to understand the truth!

Political persecution, HK is gone
