Offices of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy newspaper raided, executives arrested
Hundreds of police officers in Hong Kong swarmed the offices of the pro-democracy Apple Daily on Thursday and arrested several executives in what was called a “blatant attack” on its editorial team.
The Apple Daily ran its own story about the raid and said five of its executives were arrested for breaking Article 29 of Beijing’s controversial national security law, which prohibits “collusion with a foreign country or with external elements to endanger national security.”
