Hong Kong: State backlash dims freedom of expression
Criticism from the Hong Kong government and state-run media outlets has directly led to the closure of prominent Ming Pao cartoonist Zunzi’s 40-year publication and the shuttering of independent news outlet Transit Jam. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) condemns the ongoing attacks on Hong Kong’s independent media and urges authorities to respect freedom of expression and the press as guaranteed under the city’s Basic Law.
