BBC World recap earlier, just as Apple Daily said it'd print a million of its final edition. This month, we saw the Tiananmen vigil banned, July 1 democracy protest axed & Apple Daily cease. Next Wed marks a year of the security law, which GovHK said bought stability & peace.

The #CCP has succeeded in shutting down free speech in #HongKong--@AppleDaily, a pro-democracy paper, is forced to shut down after the Beijing-controlled HK government arrested its owner & multiple journalists, and froze its assets. #China's government is ending #freespeech.

It’s 1:45am, and there is a very, very long queue for the final edition of Apple Daily at the newsstand in Mongkok. There will be a million copies printed, but people are still worried they can’t get their hands on one. Goodnight, 🍎.

Apple Daily, last printed edition, after 26 years. Farewell, thank you, and till we meet again. @appledaily_hk #HongKong #AppleDaily

Tonight is the last published of #AppleDaily, this is also the last night for the #FreedomOfPress in #HK. Under the ludicrous #NationalSecurityLawHK, we are in political disappearance from the mist of HK. However, don't be deluded & we won’t give up our fight! #FreeHK
