香港言論自由日益收縮的氛圍可能扼殺其亞洲藝術拍賣市場的龍頭地位:
"While local officials and museum bosses have yet to address concerns over any specific works, many in the city’s arts community fear that some of Mr. Sigg’s donated art won’t ever see the light of day.
Long reliant on the finance industry, Hong Kong has worked hard to become a global arts hub. It is among the world’s biggest art-auction markets and one of the three cities world-wide to host the Art Basel fair."
香港司法體系中國化的具體表現。
"there is nothing inherently unreasonable in directing a trial by a panel of three judges sitting without a jury, when there is a perceived risk of the personal safety of jurors and their family members or that due administration of justice might be impaired”.
法官恣意擴大心證。
“李官強調，只要律政司司長真誠地相信上述3個理由成立，她便有權指示不使用陪審團。判詞亦指，條文用上「等」字，可見除上述3個理由外，司長還可以有其他理由指示審訊不設陪審團。”

"政權上周四第二度搜查報館，撿取大批新聞材料，並以國安法拘捕五名高層，其中報館的社長張劍虹、總編輯羅偉光已被落案控告，還柙在獄。昨晨再拘捕主筆楊清奇，報館基於員工安全和人手考慮，決定停刊及停止新聞網站的運作。2021年6月24日之後，香港將沒有《蘋果》。《蘋果》死亡，新聞自由是暴政的犧牲品。"
"根據《立場新聞》報導，24日凌晨，首批的最後一期《蘋果日報》甫印出，就已有大批市民在蘋果日報大樓外，排隊等候，並點亮手機燈。期間，也有蘋果日報記者到大樓門外拍大合照。拿到報紙的市民難掩激動，齊齊高舉報紙給其他家媒體記者拍攝。
香港蘋果的員工親自拿著報紙免費派給在大樓外聲援的市民。期間，有港人哽咽高呼：「多謝你哋（你們）呀！」"
WSJ對香港蘋果日報迫於國安法收攤的評論:
"This story of what happened to Apple Daily is only partly about undermining the free press. It’s more broadly a warning of what can happen to any company operating in Hong Kong that the authorities claim committed some offense under the vague terms of the National Security Law."
"The free flow of information enabled prosperity and broad freedom. Now, Hong Kong shares and bank accounts can be frozen on the order of a single official, destroying private enterprise as well as freedom."
"頭版的樣貌為、「港人雨中痛別」，在作業正式結束後，公司內響起了拍手聲。
長年支持民主派，「蘋果日報」也是唯一保持同一姿態的報紙，但是創業者及幹部們以涉嫌違反國家安全維持法為理由依序起訴，公司的資產也遭到凍結。"
WSJ對港府以國安法打壓香港蘋果至關閉的報導:
At the end of a weekly press conference on Tuesday held by Hong Kong’s top local official, Carrie Lam, one Apple Daily reporter asked her: “You said the national-security law will only affect a small number of people, but more than 800 people in my company will be forced to lose their jobs. Can you respond, Mrs. Lam?”
She walked away without answering.
香港蘋果日報用了25年時間向世界證明：中國共產黨不可信。
"《蘋果日報》在1995年的創刊社論〈我們屬於香港〉中，有幾段是這麼寫的：
「我們要辦的是一份香港人的報紙。
尚有兩年香港的政權便要移交了，在這個時候辦報，不怕九七後情況有變嗎？我們怕。但我們不願意被恐懼所威嚇。我們更不願意被悲觀所蒙蔽。我們要積極樂觀地面對未來，因為我們是香港人！
在世界的資訊走廊上，香港雖然只是斗室一個，但我們清明通透，時刻與整個世界資訊交流：每一分、每一秒都受到世界傳媒注視、受世界輿論監察。在舉世眾目睽睽之下，誰敢貿然對香港胡作非為？
我們有緊扣世界脈搏的靈通資訊網絡，優良的自由法治傳統，無數世界級的人才⋯⋯我們對中國和世界貿易發揮不可替代的積極作用。權衡利害，中國能不讓我們有一個自由充裕的生存空間？」"
無國界記者的聲明:
"無國界記者組織（RSF）東亞辦事處執行長艾瑋昂（Cedric Alviani）表示：「『蘋果日報』是少數勇於批評北京政權的主要中文媒體之一，在多年騷擾後將它打倒，向香港新聞工作者發出令人不寒而慄的訊息。」
艾瑋昂強調：「如果國際社會不以最堅定的決心回應，就是在告訴習近平主席，他可以像在中國其他地區那樣徹底抹煞香港的新聞自由，也不會受到任何懲罰。」"
這篇集結了英德外交系統及其他記者組織對港府及北京的譴責:
WSJ對香港蘋果日報做的最後身影報導:
"Apple Daily’s website had about 9.6 million monthly unique visitors in Hong Kong and a print circulation of more than 86,000 copies, according to the most recent filings from the paper’s Hong Kong-listed publisher."
“Hong Kong people are smart. Even if it’s gone now, it’ll return in another form,” ... “They can’t suppress all our voices.”
「估計不用解釋為何香港現時在非常黑暗的境地，因為中國的獨裁大幅削減及焚燒一國兩制僅存的破爛碎片」。
"Vines 認為，在新制度下，令人無法釋懷般諷刺的事，是最可享受到好處的人，就是破壞香港成為獨特地方的人，形容他們大多數憎恨及恐懼人們，破壞香港有活力的文化，甚至摧毀廣東話，因為希望以所謂的母語取代。"

ねほりんぱほりん【香港のデモに参加した人】当たり前の自由が崩れゆく恐怖

“陳寶瑩今天前往作為六四紀念場地多年的香港銅鑼灣，手持一支小型LED蠟燭燈和兩朵花，隨即被警方帶上警車。
今天稍早，警方也帶走現年67歲、拿著花的王鳳瑤。香港記者協會前主席麥燕庭也在銅鑼灣被帶走。
法新社記者今天在銅鑼灣目擊至少10人被捕，其中一名女子大喊舉燭悼六四的口號，另一名黑衣青年則拿著一本標題為「5月35日」的書。5月35日即5月31日後4天，是表達6月4日的另一種方式。”
"Among those arrested were Lau Ka-yee, of Tiananmen Mothers, and Kwan Chun-pong, a former vigil volunteer; they were carrying pieces of paper saying they were on a hunger strike as individual mourners. Sanmu Chan, a performance artist, yelled, “Hong Kongers, don’t be afraid! Don’t forget June 4,” as a crush of officers took him away. The police also detained a man and a woman who had carried chrysanthemums and worn white clothing, symbols of mourning.
被捕者包括「天安門母親」運動成員劉家儀和曾為守夜活動當義工的關振邦，他兩人手裡拿著寫有以「禁食」方式做「個人悼念」的白紙。警方還逮捕了行為藝術家陳三木，他高呼「香港人，唔好驚」、「不忘六四」，一群警察向他撲來，將其帶走。警方還拘留了一對手持菊花、身穿白色衣服的男女，菊花和白色衣服都象徵哀悼。"

今年的六四逮捕行動令人對香港司法更缺信心:
[ In a survey carried out by the American Chamber of Commerce earlier this year, 35 percent of participants said they believed the rule of law had “worsened” in Hong Kong and 19 percent said they thought it had “worsened a lot”. A further 40 percent said they had been impacted by the NSL, primarily through the departure of Hong Kong staff or decisions over Hong Kong as a future corporate headquarters.
Some 19 percent of respondents said they were very confident in the rule of law, and 44 percent moderately confident. Another 27 percent, however, said they were either not confident or “not confident at all”.]
