Hong Kong: Free-to-air broadcasters ordered to transmit patriotic programming
Hong Kong’s Chief Executive in Council has instated a mandatory minimum of 30 minutes of programming dedicated to ‘national education, national identity and the National Security Law’ per week, among other alterations. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) condemns the Hong Kong government’s latest attack on press freedom and independent programming and urges the Hong Kong Chief Executive in Council to respect press freedom and overturn the decision.
