Reporters Fined Even After Complying with Orders to Leave

2045 | #CheungShaWan

A reporter from BeWater HK was standing outside of Lai Chi Kok Detention Centre with a number of citizen reporters when the police demanded them to leave, citing the anti-gathering regulation. The group departed as instructed. However, they were stopped by officers a block away, where a new cordon line was set. The officer in-charge claimed to be only checking their IDs, after which they would be free to go. The cordon line also stopped a number of civilians, many of whom have just left work or were on their way to dinner, and were starting to get annoyed at the hold up.

Moments later, a few plainclothes officers brought the group back from where they were - nearly a block away - back towards the detention centre. They were placed with a dozen other citizens, and they each received a fine of $2000.

After receiving the tickets, the reporters were brought across the street, where other reporters from mainstream news had gathered, and were released there.
