Hong Kong's #StandNews the independent website that shut down after a raid 立場新聞 was free non-profit online content from 2014 to 2021. Founded in December 2014, it was the successor of #HouseNews #FreePress https://t.co/fK5NMPOtlY @DOSEONEWS https://t.co/4wVlymH6iz #DONews https://t.co/d2kvkLf1dP 03-30-2022

#HongKong 🇭🇰 : RSF relieved that following the release of Patrick Lam last month, second #StandNews chief editor Chung Pui-Kuen, was released on bail today almost a year after his arrest for alleged sedition. RSF calls on the #HongKong government to drop all charges against them.

Glad to be interviewed by a new #Hk #diasporic media outlet #Greenbean #media (#綠豆）. I commented on the #StandNews case and the malpractice of the public prosecution.

#NOW dozens of reporters are waiting at the prison car entrance at the District Court for ex #StandNews chief editor Patrick Lam to walk out. A team of plain clothed police arrived and a security guard set up a cordon line.

Here's the latest news on the decay of #mediafreedom in #HongKong: After #StandNews that has been closed down for breaches of the #NationalSecurityLaw has won no less than five awards and four merits, the #HumanRights Press Awards got axed and eight members of the Foreign Correspondents Club's committee have quit.

This is what #Beijing's rule is doing to media freedom and #civicrghts. It's worse than cancer, it's pure poison.

#mediafreedom with very Chinese characteristics: You are free to copy/paste from #Xinhua. Apart from that, you are free to self-censor and remain quiet.

Infuriating how the police in #HongKong has been turned into one of many instruments of #repression of the bunch of bastards known as #CCP. And how with #StandNews another voice of the pro-democracy camp is being silenced while the #SCMP is getting aligned.
