At least 10 journalists are currently in jail, while 28 have been prosecuted under the security law alone in past four years. Pope : We are called to live our faith consistently in prayer and practiceChung Pui-kuen , the former chief editor of Hong Kong's now-shuttered pro-democracy news outlet 'Stand News,' leaves the district court in Hong Kong on Aug 29 after he was found guilty of conspiracy to publish seditious publications.
Chung and Lam were accused of conspiracy to publish 17 articles deemed by the prosecution to be seditious, between July 2020 and December 2021. These allegedlyinclude profiles of pro-democracy candidates, a feature interview with former pro-democracy legislator Ted Hui, and opinion editorials by activists and journalists about Beijing’s imposition of the draconian National Security Law in 2020.
Over 900 jobs in journalism have been lost since the imposition of the National Security Law, at least three foreign freelance journalists have been barred from entering the territory and many Hong Kong journalists have gone into exile. The last British governor, Chris Patten, who helped prepare Hong Kong for the 1997 handover and is a patron of Hong Kong Watch, described the verdict as “a dark day for press freedom in Hong Kong.”
Lawmakers “should also call for the immediate and unconditional release of all Hong Kong journalists in jail, including British citizen Jimmy Lai,” he added.
