Hong Kong journalist convicted for protest-related reporting 1 minute read Hong Kong, Apr 22 (EFE).- A Hong Kong court Thursday imposed a fine of $800 on a journalist for making false statements in obtaining official data for an award-winning documentary about 2019 anti-government protests. It is the first time that a court has sentenced a journalist for reporting about the anti-government protests. It has raised fears over the dwindling press freedom as China widens its political crackdown for greater control over the former British colony. Bao Choy Yuk-ling, 37, a freelance producer of public broadcaster RTHK, was found guilty on two counts of making a false declaration to obtain car license plate information from the public vehicle database.
