Hong Kong journalist wins rare court ruling for media freedom.

TL;DR Summary
Hong Kong journalist Bao Choy has won an appeal against her conviction for obtaining vehicle ownership records for journalistic purposes, in a rare court ruling upholding media freedom in the territory. Choy was trying to track down perpetrators of a mob attack on protesters and commuters inside a train station during the massive anti-government protests in 2019 for her documentary. The city’s top court unanimously ruled in Choy's favor, quashing her conviction and setting aside the sentence, stating that "bona fide journalism" should not be excluded from the phrase "other traffic and transport related matters".
