Barry Weiss:苹果日报的关闭是香港新闻自由受损的象征性事件,它反映了中国共产党对香港日益增长的控制和对异见的压制。事件的严重性不仅在于一家报纸的倒闭,更在于它预示着香港乃至全球自由的未来。 Mark Simon(转述):香港曾是一个成功且和平的西方自由社会,但由于中国共产党,特别是习近平的领导下,香港的自由模式被摧毁。中国共产党无法容忍一个不依赖其控制的成功中国社会。 匿名苹果日报记者:作为苹果日报的记者,他们面临着巨大的压力和风险,甚至生命受到威胁。他们坚持报道真相,因为这是他们的责任和使命,也是维护香港新闻自由和社会正义的必要条件。他们为苹果日报的遭遇感到悲伤,但为他们为捍卫新闻自由所做的努力感到自豪。 Jimmy Lai(转述):黎智英先生认为,在面对邪恶势力时,人们不应害怕,而应勇敢地为自己的价值观而战。他认为苹果日报的关闭是香港自由的重大损失,但他们会继续为自由而战。 Barry Weiss: 苹果日报的关闭是过去一周最重要新闻事件,它象征着香港自由的丧失。中国共产党的影响力遍及全球,从好莱坞电影到社交媒体,都可见一斑。中国共产党对COVID-19的隐瞒和打压,也证明其行为对全世界都有影响。 Mark Simon(转述):香港曾是一个成功且和平的西方自由社会,但由于中国共产党,特别是习近平的领导下,香港的自由模式被摧毁。中国共产党无法容忍一个不依赖其控制的成功中国社会。 匿名苹果日报记者:在香港,苹果日报是唯一敢于报道真相的媒体,他们坚持报道真相,因为这是他们的责任和使命,也是维护香港新闻自由和社会正义的必要条件。他们面临着巨大的压力和风险,甚至生命受到威胁。 Jimmy Lai(转述):黎智英先生认为,在面对邪恶势力时,人们不应害怕,而应勇敢地为自己的价值观而战。他认为苹果日报的关闭是香港自由的重大损失,但他们会继续为自由而战。
