Apple Daily: The Hong Kong Newspaper That Pushed The Boundary bbc.com

But over its 25 years in print, the Apple Daily has become something rarer – a newspaper unafraid to be openly critical of the Chinese state and a standard bearer for the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.

And now, a little over a month since China imposed a new national security law on Hong Kong, the Apple Daily has become a target. Police raided the paper's offices on Monday and arrested its owner, Jimmy Lai, and nine others on charges including colluding with foreign forces.
