13-Year-Old Reporter Released: Shows Respect for Journalists and Hopes to Report the Truth

Netizens initiated the “Shopping on Mother’s Day” and “Sing With You” campaigns on Sunday (#May10), during which in Tsim Sha Tsui Harbour City 13-year-old reporter Luk was arrested for participating in an illegal assembly. The police accused him of holding a press pass not issued by the Hong Kong Journalists Association, and that he would be an illegal child labourer if he was indeed a reporter. The police also scolded him: “It’s your future, and it’s out of my reach.” Soon after he was released, Luk was searched again, and ended up being brought into a police vehicle with an accompanying female reporter.

That night, he was released in the company of his mother and Yu Tak-po, vice chairman of the Yau Tsim Mong District Council. Luk’s mother said that the police threatened to charge her if “the son was seen at this kind of event again”. She said that the police told her that her son was now under discretion, and she received an explanation on Protection of Children and Juveniles Ordinance, which she believes was to clarify and inform her of her legal responsibility, and to encourage her to deny her son’s request to report again.

She believed that while the situation was quite unusual, it allowed her son to grow, so that he could learn how to deal with “a big scene”. But she stressed that she would estimate the risk before he goes out to report, and would stop him if it is too dangerous. She continued by stating she kept up with her son’s live broadcast, and would know immediately if he were in danger. “I told him that you would be a target of the police because of your build and appearance. He promised me that he knew how to handle that. He would cooperate in a search and would tell me afterwards. I think he sounds okay, so I let him go out there.”

Luk further explained that he wanted to help report the truth and due to his deep respect for journalists, he wants to become one in the future. “I quite respect journalists. They have such a hard time on scene, and are treated so badly by the police. I really respect all of you, and I want to be in this profession.” When asked about what he will say to his mother, Luk could not hold back his tears. Soon after he told her,

“Happy Mother’s Day, and I’m sorry.”
