#RTHK terminates the contract of critically acclaimed reporter #NabelaQoser
In Hong Kong, the public broadcaster RTHK refused to renew the contract of journalist Nabela Qoser, who is known for her professionalism and critical stance.
Since 2019, the pro-Beijing camp and figures have been attacking Qoser after she raised sharp questions during government press conferences.
Although the station has earlier announced that Qoser was wrongly accused by the complaints, RTHK reopened the investigation in October 2020. Citing the ongoing probe as a reason, RTHK terminated Qoser's civil service contract in January 2021, though she was employed in 2017. The public broadcaster further switched her to a 120-day contract, before terminaring it in May 2021.
Qoser has to leave the station by the end of May 2021.
