Apple Daily Mass arrests in Hong Kong and independent journalists imprisoned in Vietnam
Journalists groups have condemned orders to four Hong Kong media organizations from the city s national security police requiring them to hand over materials linked to the arrests of dozens of pro-democracy activists for subversion.
The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) said it was extremely concerned about the orders handed to independent news websites Stand News and InMedia, jailed media magnate Jimmy Lai s Next Digital, and its subsidiary newspaper the
Apple Daily.
The outlets have seven days to comply with the orders, which came as national security police arrested 53 opposition politicians and rights campaigners linked to a democratic primary in July, which the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) deemed subversive.
