Police Arrests Journalist of News Programme Addressing Police-Triad Alleged Collusion during Yuen Long 7.21 Triad Attack

On the afternoon of Nov 3, 2020, police arrested RTHK's "Hong Kong Connection" journalist Bao Choy Yuk-ling, who had produced special issues addressing police brutality and misconduct.

According to iCable News, Choy was arrested for violating the Road Traffic Ordinance. According to Now News, police claimed that Choi looked up car ownership from car plate number on the suspicion of falsifying statement.

"Hong Kong Connection" is a popular news documentary produced by RTHK, a public broadcaster which has been under the attack of the authorities and Beijing loyalists.

In 2019 and 2020, the programme featured two episodes on the 7.21 Yuen Long Triad attack on civilians. This incident that happened on July 21, 2019 was referred by many to as a police-Triad collusion, for that the police had allegedly turned a blind eye to the white-clad gangsters' brutal attack on civilians.

In the episode "7.21 Yuen Long Nightmare" aired in July 2019, the programme collected a large amount of surveillance TV footage, pointing out that the police had patrolled around the areas where the white-clad gangsters gathered that afternoon.

In the episode "Who Controls the Truth" aired in July 2020, the programme displayed that CID police did not intervene at all while walking among the white-clad gangsters armed with weapons.

Choy, who was arrested by the police this afternoon, took part in the production of both episodes. The police also searched Choy's residence.

Arrested News Docu Producer Reminds Journalists: Carry on what we ought to do

On Nov 3, 2020, the Hong Kong police arrested Bao Choy, a RTHK producer who took part in investigative reports about police brutality and misconduct.

The police accused Choy of making a false declaration while conducting licence plate searches of vehicles allegedly connected to the white-clad gangsters involved in the mob attack in Yuen Long on July 21, 219.

The Hong Kong Journalists Association (#HKJA) comdemned the authorities for "exhausting every possible way to suppress" media workers who try to uncover the truth.

RTHK's director of broadcast Leung Ka-shu, who has been attacked by Beijing loyalists, expressed concern over the grave impact on RTHK staff and its consequence.

The chairman of HKJA, Chris Yeung, also pointed out that “the immediate question is whether reporters will still be comfortable to do regular vehicle licence checks, as they have been for years, because there is now a risk they may face charges”.

On the evening of Nov 3, 2020, Choy on bail met with the press outside Taipo Police Station. She thanked fellow media workers for their concern and hopes journalists in Hong Kong could stay unswayed and uphold professionalism. "Carry on what we ought to do," said Choy.

During the Tsim Sha Tsui march on 6 September, a driver from #NWFB 970 line was arrested by the police while driving. He was once accused of driving fast for no reason, and was involved in dangerous driving. He was also alleged to have carried a spanner to work, which was labelled as an offensive weapons. He was eventually charged with careless driving. The case will be heard again on the 17th of this month.

Lam Kam-biu, chairman of the NWFB Workers Union, said when receiving an inquiry from Apple Daily that he had received the arrested driver’s request for help, saying that the driver had been informed by NWFB that if he pleaded not guilty, the company would not continue to provide him with legal assistance. Lam frankly said that he was dissatisfied with the decision of NWFB and had no choice but to assist the captain in finding legal support. When NWFB responded to the inquiry, it acknowledged the matter and stated that the law firm it commissioned made the relevant decision after reviewing the evidence and confession. If the driver chooses to defend, it is recommended that he appoint another lawyer to handle it as soon as possible.
