☆ Hong Kong journalist wins appeal at top court over Yuen Long documentary
  + stars: | 2023-06-05 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
HONG KONG, June 5 (Reuters) - Hong Kong journalist Bao Choy won an appeal at the city's top court on Monday against her conviction linked to checking vehicle registration records for a documentary about an attack at a train station on pro-democracy protesters in 2019. Bystanders and journalists were also beaten by the assailants during their attack on the protesters. Choy, whose documentary was focused on the police handling of the mob attack, had pleaded not guilty. Chan also argued that the prosecution failed to mention press freedom, which is protected under the city’s mini constitution.

☆ In Rare Victory for Media, Hong Kong Court Overturns Conviction of Journalist
  + stars: | 2023-06-05 | by ( Tiffany May | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In a rare victory for journalism amid a crackdown on the news media in Hong Kong, the city’s top court on Monday overturned the conviction of a prominent reporter who had produced a documentary that was critical of the police. Choy Yuk-ling, who also goes by the name Bao Choy, is best known in Hong Kong for producing investigative documentaries examining police conduct in 2019, when the city was roiled by months of antigovernment protests. Among the documentaries she produced was a prizewinning episode of “Hong Kong Connection,” a news program by the city’s public broadcaster RTHK. She was arrested in 2020 and found guilty the next year of making false statements to obtain car registry records. A court ordered her to pay a fine of 6,000 Hong Kong dollars, about $775.
