#AppleDaily journalists go to work as usual: "Losing job is not as scary as forfeiting integrity."
Facing the cease of publication, staff of the Apple Daily was seen taking shuttle buses back to the Next Digital building since this afternoon (Jun 23). Some said they came back to say goodbyes, some came back for their personal belongings. Emily, a journalist, said, ‘losing a job is not as scary as forfeiting integrity’. It is believed that regardless of location, Apple Daily staff will hold tightly onto the paper’s value: never sell your soul for personal gain.
Emily brought cakes and cards back to the complex, planning on saying goodbye with her fellows. She especially mentioned an Assignment Editor, who ‘insists on staying until the very last moment’, and whom they ‘come back today to support’. She exclaimed that with the political pressure asserted on the paper, they could only fight until the very last moment. But she also thought that being able to witness the last paper publishing was still a nice way to put an end to the era.
Emily agreed that publishing the last paper tonight was the right call. ’Every extra second of Next Media’s survival adds danger to everyone in the company... No one wants to see any more people getting arrested.’ Yet, she also worried that ‘from now on it is the beginning of hardship,’ and that she hoped ‘other medium can survive as long as they can’.

Another journalist Mr Yu said, ever since the 5 management personnel were arrested and Apple Daily’s assets were frozen, he knew he might not be able to work in this company in the near future. So when he was told Apple Daily would stop functioning through messages, it was not ‘hard to digest’ nor ‘surprising’.
He said originally he needed to go back to work, and he planned on packing his personal belongings after work. "It is anticipated that I can’t come back here after today… after all there are potential risks coming back.’ He added, ‘I don’t know what to do in the future, there are so many changes in the world every hour, there is no guarantee if I can still write articles after leaving.’

In a quiet night outside the empty #AppleDaily building lie Hongkongers' words of encouragement
Hong Kong's pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily closed down owing to the authorities pressure and the threat of the #NationalSecutityLaw. The last edition of the 26-year-old top-selling newspaper was released on June 24, 2021.
In the evening, outside the now-empty Apple Daily headquarters in Tseung Kwan O, supporting citizens continued to pay tribute to the truth-seeking newspaper, its founder #JimmyLai and its staff.
Letters, memos and drawings composed under the name of #Hongkongers thanked the newspaper for its courage and commitment to uphold journalistic beliefs and diversity in pursuit of the truth.
Citizens also left messages, promising the Apple Daily owner and staff that their effort would not be gone, as the spirit of the pro-democracy newspaper has been seeded in Hongkongers.
Others also wrote that this is not an end and Hongkongers will fight on.

#ReportersWithoutBorders protests #AppleDaily closure at Chinese embassies in Paris and Berlin
The press freedom advocacy group Reporters Without Borders (#RSF) marched through the streets of Paris and Berlin on June 25, 2021.
They protested the closure of the Hong Kong's pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily, after Hong Kong's Beijing-backed authorities froze the paper's assets and arrested several executives.
The NGO said on their website that they held "funeral-style processions" to denounce the "killing" of Apple Daily by the Hong Kong government, and to "raise alarm of the threats" posed by the Beijing regime to press freedom globally.
In Paris, RSF placed a coffin and funeral flowers for the Hong Kong paper in front of the #ChineseEmbassy. At the same time, they buried copies of the newspaper in front of the embassy in Berlin.
RSF Secretary-General Christophe Deloire said, "today's funeral is for Apple Daily, but tomorrow's may be for press freedom in China. It's time for the international community to act in line with their own values and obligations and defend what's left of the ,free press in Hong Kong before China's model of information control claims another victim."

"Who will be next?"
While Apple Daily is being forced into closing after the Hong Kong Police froze its assets, the pro-Beijing camp had been cheering on its demise.
However, on Tuesday, June 22, 2021, pro-Beijing trade union president Ng Chau-pei unexpectedly lashed out against several other news companies, including HK01 and i-Cable, calling them "anti-China and troublemakers in Hong Kong" at heart. He predicted that they, too, will be "ruined by their own hands in the end."
Webcomic artist Ah To is not surprised that these companies, normally considered neutral or pro-Beijing-leaning, would be targeted by the China so soon.
In this comic, he depicts HK01, Oriental Daily, and Sing Tao Daily gleefully watching an "evil media" being "rectified" by police. However, they each begin to break a cold sweat as the gaze of the national security authorities turn upon them, the remnants of the once freely-speaking Hong Kong media.
