Hong Kong journalist Bao Choy wins rare press freedom victory
Hong Kong's top court has overturned the conviction of journalist Choy Yuk-ling, who had investigated the police response to a 2019 mob attack. Choy was convicted in 2021 of improperly accessing vehicle records in connection with the attack. The case sparked outrage and concern among local journalists over the territory's shrinking media freedoms. The ruling provides a boost for Hong Kong's journalists, as Beijing dampens Hong Kong's once outspoken media scene.
