Hong Kong daily banned from Shanghai Expo

The Apple Daily ran a headline declaring 'Shanghai Expo bans Apple Daily', saying in the story that its 10 applications for press accreditation had not yet been approved. Other media outlets had already received their approval, Apple reported, adding that it had not been invited along with other Hong Kong media to cover a delegation of city legislators during their visit to the Expo next month. Apple Daily is a vigorously pro-democracy publication, pushing for free elections not just in Hong Kong but on the mainland too. Link above is to the Straits Times in Singapore.
