TVB misleading editing on the arrest of Kwong Chun-yu

(11 May)A fellow HongKonger created this forum thread to indicate that the pro-government television broadcasting company in Hong Kong, TVB, reported with the news clip regarding the arrest of Democratic Party legislator Roy Kwong Chun-yu in a way that may lead the audience to associate Mr Kwong with disorderly conduct during a protest.

Over 200 people were arrested in a Mong Kok protest on Mother’s Day (10 May), including Democrat Roy Kwong, who allegedly attack the police.

The protest escalated from singing and chanting slogans in malls in the afternoon to rallying in Mong Kok on Sunday night. Around 10 pm, Kwong was standing in the crowd and negotiating with the police through a speaker when an officer on his right pushed him to the floor and restrained him with the assistance of pepper spray.

The police officer claimed that they arrested Kwong due to the suspicion that he threw a water bottle towards the police force. Even though Kwong’s misconduct has not been confirmed with any evidence, TVB news channel arranged a clip of a water bottle on the ground before broadcasting the scene of Kwong’s arrest, creating a deception that Kwong was related to the act. The forum thread creator urged others to file broadcasting complaints against TVB’s misleading contents on the Communications Authority’s website.
