1. Hong Kong’s Newsstands See Long Queues after Apple Daily Raid Hong Kong residents have queued to buy copies of the Apple Daily, a pro- democracy newspaper, a day after security forces raided its newsroom and arrested its editor-in-chief and four other directors.

2. The front page of Friday’s issue showed a message of defiance that read: “We must press on.” The paper, which typically prints around 80,000 copies, was increased to 500,000 copies to meet the high demand. Hundreds of thousands of people queued at city newsstands before dawn on Friday to buy the newspaper’s latest edition. The raid on the Apple Daily newsroom came after two of its executives were indicted under Hong Kong’s controversial and strict national security law. Police detained five executives, including editor-in-chief Ryan Law and chief executive officer Cheung Kim-hung, who were the two charged. The other three detainees were Deputy Chief Editor Chan Pui-man, Chief Operating Officer Chow Tat-kuen, and Chief Executive Editor Cheung Chi-wai, who remain under investigation, police officials said. Ms. Chan was released on bail on Friday night. Outside the police station, she told reporters that she was saddened by the charges against her colleagues but added that she was proud of her staff for publishing the newspaper earlier that day. Authorities also said that Mr. Cheung and Mr. Chow remain in police custody. (Read More)
