Hong Kong, January 2
A Hong Kong online news site said on Sunday that it would cease operations in light of deteriorating press freedoms, days after the police raided and arrested seven people for sedition at a separate pro-democracy news outlet. Citizen News announced its decision in a Facebook post on Sunday.
It said it would stop updating its site on January 4, and it would be shuttered after that. “We have always loved this land, but at present, we are helpless as we are not only facing wind and rain, but tornadoes and huge waves,” it said in a statement. — AP
