HONG KONG, June 17 (Reuters) - An adviser to media tycoon Jimmy Lai said on Thursday the arrests of five people at Hong Kong's Apple Daily newspaper was a "blatant attack" on the editorial team.
Mark Simon told Reuters the arrests early on Thursday morning were aimed at the editorial side of the newspaper, not the business side.
