Several editors and executives of a prominent pro-democracy newspaper in Hong Kong were arrested Thursday under charges of colluding with foreign countries, police announced. The Associated Press reported that police arrested five editors and executives of Apple Daily, citing more than 30 articles that authorities alleged played a “crucial part” in efforts to conspire with foreign governments to impose sanctions on China and Hong Kong. Local police declared the newspaper’s office a crime scene, with CNN reporting that roughly 500 officers were sent to arrest the executives and seize materials.
