#HongKong: #CFWIJ extends its support to #BaoChoy & urges Hong Kong authorities to retract the verdict to convict her. No society can withstand loss of freedom of expression and as a result, loss of democracy.

While #BaoChoy was not sentenced to a jail term, the hefty fine certainly serves as an intimidating warning to investigative journalism in all of #HongKong.

Freedom for #BaoChoy.
Freedom for the people of #HongKong.
Down with the #CCP, down with #Beijing's #oppression of #civicrights and attacks on #mediafreedom.
Time to make #China pay for ignoring and violating treaties it has signed but not honored.
