2 Hong Kong Newspaper Executives Charged Under Security Law: Police

Chief editor Ryan Law and CEO Kim-hung were charged with "collusion with a foreign country or with external elements to endanger national security".

Hong Kong police charged two executives from the pro-democracy Apple Daily newspaper on Friday using a powerful new security law, a day after the company's newsroom was raided over articles it had published. Police said a 47-year-old and a 59-year-old were charged with "collusion with a foreign country or with external elements to endanger national security". Apple Daily said the two charged executives were chief editor Ryan Law and CEO Cheung Kim-hung. Some 500 officers descended on the paper's newsroom on Thursday, bundling computers and notepads into evidence bags.
