Hong Kong Pro-democracy Newspaper Apple Daily to Shut Down Operations

On Wednesday, June 23, 2021, Hong Kong police arrested Yeung Ching-kee, the lead editorial writer who wrote columns for Apple Daily under the pen name Li Ping. Apple Daily will stop operating at midnight and publish the last print edition Thursday due to concerns over manpower and the safety of employees. “The Company thanks our readers for their loyal support and our journalists, staff and advertisers for their commitment over the past 26 years,” the board said. On Monday, the company said it would close the newspaper’s operations by Saturday if Hong Kong authorities continued to block access to its bank accounts following the arrests of senior editors and executives. On the morning of June 17th, the Hong Kong police raided the Apple Daily building and arrested five senior executives of Next Digital group and Apple Daily, and also froze the assets of Next Digital Ltd at $18 million HK dollars. #China #AppleDaily #ProDemocracy #ShutDown #HongKong #NationalSecurityLaw
