Hong Kong police arrest Apple Daily editors and executives under national security law

Hong Kong police have arrested executives and top editors working for the pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily under the city's national security law.

Apple Daily said Thursday that the company's CEO Cheung Kim Hung, COO Chow Tat Kuen, chief editor Ryan Law, along with the deputy chief editor and online editor were all arrested and accused of colluding with foreign forces to endanger national security, a provision of the sweeping legislation introduced last year that banned sedition, secession and subversion against Beijing.
