Hong Kong Journalists Face Organised Harassment, HKJA Reveals at Press Conference
Sep 13, 2024, 08:11 AM
A recent investigation by the Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) has revealed that dozens of journalists in Hong Kong have been subjected to threats, intimidation, and harassment in what is described as an 'organised attack.' The HKJA presented their findings at a press conference. The Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) has condemned these actions and reported the intimidation of its staff to the police. This crackdown on media freedom in Hong Kong is part of a broader trend of censorship, surveillance, arrests, and forced closures targeting independent press in the region.
