The detainment and jailing of journalists in the new #HongKong all hangs on an invisible “red lines” set out under the so-called “National Security Law”. At the end of the day, the city now functions under the rule of man, one man in particular, than the rule of law we have prided ourselves on for decades. We urge our allies who believe in the #freedomofpress to act in solidarity with #HK’s finest professionals.

Our journalists are still trying their best to do what they can for our home, toeing the invisible red line of the #nationalsecuritylaw. The "anti-fake news" bill is within sight and internet censorship is not far away. #HongKongers, buckle up :(

The world press freedom index are determined by a few indicators by the Reporter Without Border - political, economic, legislative, social, security. Being a reporter in #HongKong incurs high security risk now, with so many imprisoned, arrested, prosecuted, brutalized, and many more having fled.
