A man takes a photo of his copy of the Apple Daily newspaper after it looked set to close for good by Saturday following police raids and the arrest of executives in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong police arrested on Wednesday a columnist of pro-democracy tabloid Apple Daily on suspicion of conspiring to collude with a foreign country or foreign forces, local media TVB said.
Police, which typically do not disclose the names of those arrested, said they arrested a 55-year-old man on those charges.
TVB identified the man as an Apple Daily columnist who publishes under the pen name of Li Ping.
