An ongoing investigation into a hard-hitting journalist with Hong Kong’s government broadcaster RTHK will have a “chilling effect” on the city’s news organizations, the Hong Kong Journalists’ Association (HKJA)
The statement came after the police wrote to four media associations warning them that press accreditation issued by the HKJA and the Hong Kong Press Photographers’ Association would no longer be recognized by the police when deciding who is to be allowed to cover an event.
