Hong Kong police raid news publication's office and arrest at least six senior staff
Hong Kong's national security police arrested at least six current and former staff of Stand News for alleged "conspiracy to publish seditious publication" in an early morning raid on Wednesday, the region's government said. Earlier in June, Hong Kong police raided the office of Apple Daily newspaper and arrested five executives, while a similar raid was conducted in August 2020 along with the arrest of Apple Daily's founder Jimmy Lai. The arrests come a day after Jimmy Lai and six Apple Daily top executives were charged with the same alleged crime.

Gone are Apple Daily, Stand News, a number of orgs that were pillars of Hong Kong’s civil societies in 2021. Not to mention the public monuments of historical events. It took less than a year to dismantle what made the city the way it was.https://twitter.com/XinqiSu/status/1476105046203183105 …

High-profile Hong Kongers like billionaire media magnate Jimmy Lai, or star musician Denise Ho — once a brand ambassador for Lancôme / L’Oréal — had much to lose for their activism. The message: We will crush you. In the same way Beijing crushed Jack Ma. One country, one system.
