“This is not my first time to say goodbye to the audience. But to face it once again, it is certainly not easy. I believe many Hongkongers are facing it together, & I believe we will be stronger after many challenges” - ex Cable TV, Apple Daily, @hkcnews_com journalist Ingrid Tse
We announced with a heavy heart that CitizenNews will cease operation starting from Jan 4 (Tue).
To our subscribers and readers, we sincerely thank you for your support. We shall always treasure this incredible journey in the past five years.
In 2021, Hong Kong lost at least 59 media / NGO / civic organisations, who dared to voice their support for freedom and democracy. Many were forced to disband due to the National Security Law 🇨🇳.
Here’s to 2022…
#StandwithHongKong#StandwithHKPress
I want to highlight @StandNewsHK iconic report on the Yuen Long attack because it makes it clear how far HK press freedoms have fallen, the reporter filming @KwaiLamHo is in jail, Stand News is gone, and this livestream is about to be deleted from their website forever
As a famous award-winning singer, @hoccgoomusic could have chosen to stay silent and enjoy the wealth that the gigantic Chinese/pro-Beijing market would have brought her. Yet she did the exact opposite - she devoted herself in advocacy for democracy, LGBTQ+ rights and more. (1/)
1/ Arresting 6 senior executives of @StandNewsHK for "conspiracy to publish seditious publications" under s.10 of the Crimes Ordinance, the authorities are working together once again to crack down on freedom of expression in #HongKong.
My dearest friend, famous Hong Kong singer @hoccgoomusic is being arrested for publishing inciting materials.
She is the most vocal artist in the HK movement. She spoke in front of the US Congress and the United Nations to decry Beijing’s crackdown.
Please #StandWithHongKong
When free press is the focal point of human rights discussion this year, CCP keeps charging journalists and media that dare to challenge them and speak the truth. Among many others, the arrests of Denise Ho, Margaret Ng are prime examples. RELEASE THEM!
