HONG KONG: Hong Kong police charged the chief editor and chief executive of newspaper Apple Daily on Friday (Jun 18) with collusion with a foreign country, a national security case that has sent chills through the city's media.
Police also said they would prosecute three companies related to Apple Daily for the same offence after freezing HK$18 million (US$2.32 million) of their assets. "You never know when this newspaper will die," said one reader surnamed Tsang who only gave his last name because of the sensitivity of the matter."As Hong Kongers, we need to preserve the history. Hang in there as long as we can. Although the road is rough, we still need to walk it, as there's no other road."
The newspaper printed a similar number after Lai's arrest in August 2020. Lai's assets have since been frozen as he faces three charges under the security law. He is serving prison sentences for taking part in illegal assemblies.
Wonderful news. Jail the barking dog of America
Hong Kong under the racist CCP criminals is now lawless. Illegal too without the mandate of the people.
