#RTHK censors radio show content, calling lyrics from Les Misérables “controversial"
The public broadcaster RTHK has once again removed radio show content, citing "controversial material" as a reason.
In the radio progran “Letter to Hong Kong” scheduled to be aired on April 4, 2021, a letter that district councillor #MarkMo wrote to a detainee was originay planned to be read.
However, on Apr 2, 2021, Mo received a notification from RTHK that based on the new programme editor regulations, pre-approval is required before any controversial topic is put on the show and therefore his letter would not be read out on the show on Apr 4.
The show decided to read a letter written by previous chairman of RTHK Board of Advisors Chan Kin-keung.
According to Mo, he wrote the letter to a detainee that he visited for work reasons. The letter quoted some lyrics from Les Misérables, and mentioned that the democratic camp and the resistance camp are both facing challenges and are reflecting how they should keep going under Hong Kong’s current situation. He was not given a date when the letter will be read.
