#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."

10 Cities in #UK Mourn the Shutdown of Apple Daily in Hong Kong
#AppleDaily, a top-selling pro-democracy newspaper in Hong Kong, was forced to cease operation on June 24, 2021.
On June 27, HongKongers in the UK organised assemblies in different cities to mourn the "death" of the newspaper.
Participating cities included London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Reading, Nottingham, Sutton, Sheffield, Kent, and Leeds.
Jeff, an former employee of Apple Daily distributed his custom-made newspaper.
Wong, an ex-vice director of Apple Daily gave his opinion about the assembly in his interview with the Stand News. He said, "We welcome everyone to participate and remember Apple Daily".
He also mentioned that people were discussing to organise Apple Daily in the UK and he hss been a part of the discussion.
He believes the intention of the shutdown is to protect the safety of the employees, and the possibility of publishing Apple Daily overseas would be very risky to the employees in Hong Kong.
He pointed out that it could be a reason for the court to deny a bail for its employees.
He said he had also chatted with Jeff, who distributed his own version of 'Apple Daily' for the gathering.
Jeff promised he will not act on behalf of Apple Daily. Jeff also told Stand News that he would not dare to represent Apple Daily as he is not qualified to do so, but he's just doing what he thinks he should do.

#Hongkongers in #UK Initiate #Flashmob Activity to Raise Awareness of HK Situation
In response to the forced shutdown of #AppleDaily on June 24, 2021, an UK-based Hongkongers' association initiated a flash-mob activity in the Waterloo train station on July 4, 2021.
Around 30 people displayed and read a DIY edition of the Apple Daily newspaper. The edition was also distributed on the street afterwards, with a goal to draw public attention to Hong Kong's deteriorating education.
Among the participants, there was a 12-year-old boy who has been injured but insisted on helping, despite the need of his walking sticks.
The boy arrived in London from Hong Kong with her mother in February. He said, "there is no more freedom in Hong Kong". He wished to support the pro-democracy newspaper.
