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.

HK Police Only Receive Warning For Allegedly Violating Telecommunications Ordinance
Apple Daily revealed earlier that a policeman in Hong Kong was found using a non-official walkie-talkie during work.
The Office of the Communications Authority confirmed that owning that type of walkie-talkie requires a permit, but only issued a warning to the police. In previous cases, civilians have been fined for over HK$10,000.
A barrister suggested that the police did not seek approval before using the said walkie-talkie and violated the Telecommunications Ordinance.
Human rights group criticised that the police should not handle a criminal offence just by internal instructions, because “the said party did not just offended internal rules, but the Hong Kong law. Things should be done according to the law.”
