HK’s Apple Daily to Shut Within Days: Jimmy Lai Adviser
BY REUTERS June 21, 2021 Updated: June 21, 2021 biggersmaller Print
HONG KONG—Hong Kong pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily will be forced to shut “in a matter of days” after authorities froze the company’s assets under Beijing’s national security law, an adviser to jailed owner Jimmy Lai told Reuters on Monday.
The closure of Apple Daily would undermine the former British colony’s reputation as an open and free society and send a warning to other companies that could be accused of colluding with a foreign country, media advocacy groups said.
