Jimmy Lai
On the 10th August 2020, the founder of Next Digital which owns Apple Daily, Jimmy Lai was arrested by Hong Kong Police on early monday for alleged collusion with foreign powers according to executive, Mark Simon on Twitter. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reported that "“The arrest of media tycoon Jimmy Lai bears out the worst fears that Hong Kong’s National Security Law would be used to suppress critical pro-democracy opinion and restrict press freedom,” said Steven Butler, CPJ’s Asia program coordinator. “Jimmy Lai should be released at once and any charges dropped.”"
