Hong Kong | The chief editorial writer for the pro-democracy Apple Dailynewspaper was arrested at Hong Kong’s airport, local media reported, as another news outlet said it was taking down articles from its website amid concerns about press freedom in the Asian financial hub.
Journalist Fung Wai-kong was detained as he attempted to leave the city, media including broadcaster TVB said on Sunday, citing people it did not identify, making him the seventh person swept up in a probe into the now-shuttered newspaper.
