"Hong Kong has long been a beacon for press freedom in Asia, but the media has faced increasing restrictions in the territory in recent years," wrote #FT. Wow, that's an under-statement. During 2019's protests, journalists had been pepper-sprayed and shot, and now the violent crackdown extends on the institutional level too. #RTHK had held on for as long as it did, as its chief broadcaster has been replaced by a yes-man, it's more important now than ever to read news with a critical mind.

They don't even bother to hide it anymore. New #HongKong: if you're pro-establishment, you can do whatever you want, the police, the lawmakers, the judiciary, everyone will cover for you. If you have a problem with this, be damned.

There’s no logic in Hong Kong Police Force’s actions. They smeared the victims as the guilty party. The first person convicted in relation to 721 is #ChoyYukling, a journalist who made a documentary uncovering the truth about the attackers. Now #LamCheukting is charged for rioting.
