On the 4th anniversary of the forcible closure of #AppleDaily by the Hong Kong government, former employees still go to its empty HQ to remember; mango & lychee trees bear fruit on the abandoned grounds; & its executives, including Jimmy Lai, are still in prison & on trial.

Very honoured to write and edit of this “special edition” of Apple Daily for RSF, marking the 4th anniversary of its forced closure. Remember the journalists & press freedom defenders still in jail - some may be out next month, some will take a few more years.

NEW RESEARCH: National Security Law in Hong Kong EXPOSED It’s been 5 years since the National Security Law. Here’s how it has been used as a tool of repression: 1️⃣ In at least 85% of concluded cases, people have been prosecuted for their peaceful expression -with no evidence

It is 5years ago today that the #NationalSecurityLaws were imposed on #HongKong. Many further restrictions have been added. Political prisoners unjustly imprisoned. Any voice that speaks in opposition is silenced. Democracy & freedom of speech must be restored.
