Pro-Protest Hong Kong Newspaper Besieged as Deliveries Disrupted

As many as 300 men have besieged the printing plant of a pro-protest Hong Kong newspaper, delaying delivery of Apple Daily and other papers printed at the site including the International New York Times.

The men, wearing surgical masks, arrived by bus the last two nights at about 10 p.m. and stayed until about 5 a.m., Mark Simon, commercial director for Next Media Animation Ltd. said in an interview. The men have been obstructing trucks and trying to inspect the newspapers, he said.
