Wheelchair-bound journalist harassed by Riot Police
(27 Feb) A wheelchair-bound journalist was harassed by riot police when he was covering a protest in Tuen Mun district. The officer teased him and challenged if one could be a reporter in a wheelchair.
The social media group that the journalist belongs to, the White Night, condemned the behavior of the officer to the reporter in a post on its official Facebook Page .
Another reporter has also witnessed that riot police officer and his colleagues suspected of teasing and harassing the disabled reporter. The officer however was not identified as he did not have his force identification number or warrant card shown. This left the White Night with no way to file a complaint on the misconduct and disability discrimination against the experienced front-line reporter.
It is demanded that the police work with utmost professionalism and respect the rights of journalists to work and cover news without intervention.
The White Night is an online media group which gathers people from different backgrounds to cover news on a voluntary basis.
