Hong Kong Police arrest #RTHK producer Bao Choy, #HKJA: 'Police is picking on media'
Hong Kong police arrested the producer of the RTHK programme 'Hong Kong Connection', Bao Choy Yuk-ling, on Nov 3, 2020.
Hong Kong's major media unions including the RTHK Programme Staff Union criticized the police's unreasonable attack on the freedom of press at a joint press conference held on two days later on Nov 5, 2020.
Chiu Sin-yan, the chairwoman of the RTHK Programme Staff Union said that they had been discussing the arrest with the RTHK management and urged the management to offer assistance to Choy. Chiu added that RTHK would continue with its investigative reporting, stick to the common practice of using public records in their investigations, and uphold press freedom, as the case had not been closed.
Yeung Kin-hing, chairperson of the Hong Kong Journalist Association (HKJA) said that police was picking on media in Hong Kong, and HKJA was seeking legal advice about the arrest. He then challenged that if government still regards press freedom and public's right to know as parts of public interest. He added that the small-scale and online news media could not afford any lawsuits, and slammed government for 'this ludicrous attack on journalists'.
Hui Fong-man, the chairperson of the Ming Pao Staff Association stressed that using the public records was a common practice in investigating the interest-based relationship and identities. The government's outlawing of this routine practice without any consultation with the media industry amounts to 'setting a trap for the journalists' , as how the boundary line is drawn is unknown.
Lam Ching-kit, the representative of the Journalism Educators for Press Freedom, and senior lecturer of Journalism and Communication Department of Chu Hai College said that checking public records had always been a legitimate fact-checking exercise, which also provides information for analysis in journalism students' reports. Journalism education will be affected by this arrest, as teachers cannot ask students to bear such risk, related reports and investigations will be thereby delayed.

Local Groups Support Protest Documentary 'Inside the Red Brick Wall',
Filmmaker: Rethinking Life in the 'New Norm' under National Security Law
The documentary film 'Inside the Red Brick Wall' recorded the police siege of the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong (#PolyU) in November 2019. The screening of the film was supported by the local organization at Hong Kong Arts Centre on October 31, 2020.
The authorities OFNAA has rated the film as Category III, meaning that underage audience are not permitted into the screening. Compulsory warnings have been inserted into the opening of the film, stating 'some of those descriptions or acts may constitute criminal offences under prevailing laws', and 'some of the contents of or commentaries in the film may be unverified or misleading'.
Vincent Chui, the art director of the NGO Ying E Chi which distributed the film clarified that the warnings were prescribed by the authorities, and such act has set the alarm bells of freedom of speech ringing in Hong Kong.
Eric Poon, the associate professor of practice of School of Journalism and Communism at Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), and the former director of the #RTHK program 'Hong Kong Connection', spoke in the sharing session. Poon said that though protest documentaries are now under pressure in Hong Kong, the situation here is still not comparable to that in China, in which electricity is often cut during film screenings.
Poon then referred to Chinese documentary filmmaker Ai Xiao-ming, who carries on screening her films despite the lack of equipment. Poon remarked that in the 'new norm' of Hong Kong's National Security Law, apart from planning currency exchange and immigration, Hongkongers should also think about how to keep on living.
'We cannot expect that the next social movement will emerge soon, but in between the periods there are still a lot of things we can do," Poon reminded the audience.
Poon also mentioned that the themes and the visions of the documentaries of his era in Hong Kong did not reflect the taste of the Western countries, thus it was hard for them to get into the international market.
However, this time 'Inside the Red Brick Wall' has been shortlisted at the International Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), indicating that Hongkongers can now proudly present their own perspective to the world, 'The stories of Hong Kong are now told by us, not by the others.'
