Perhaps the Last Remaining Freedom of Speech: HongKongers Buy Out Apple Daily Newspaper at 3am
To show support for #NextMedia and #AppleDaily, many HongKongers said they would still purchase a copy of the newspaper even if it is blank.
At 2am, many people went to Mongkok to look for the latest copy of the newspaper. This is one day after the newspaper's headquarters had been raided by 200 police and its founder Jimmy Lai, his two sons and 4 other management executives had been arrested.
A 26-year-old man bought 50 copies to give out to his colleagues, family, neighbors and friends and to share the last remaining moment of free speech.
Reporters on the scene were also buying a copy for themselves. Before 3am, Apple Daily was sold out in many stalls in Mongkok.
In addition to the personnels related to Apple Daily, police arrested former #Demosisto member #AgnesChow, former #Scholarism member #LeeChongChak and
"#HongKongStory" member #LeeYuHin on the same day.
