On Thursday, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen and legislators condemned the forced closure of the pro-democratic Apple Daily in Hong Kong, slamming the move as suppression of freedom of speech.

Tsai said on Facebook that she was “deeply saddened” by the forced silence of Apple Daily after its tycoon and executives were arrested and assets frozen under the Beijing-imposed national security law in Hong Kong.
