Hong Kong investigative journalist wins appeal in rare ruling upholding press freedom: 'Meaningful'
Fox News
Veteran investigative journalist Bao Choy won her appeal in Hong Kong two years after she was found guilty of deceiving the government during her work on “7.21 Who Owns The Truth."
At the time, Choy was working on a documentary about a mob attack on protesters and commuters inside a train station during the anti-government protests in 2019, and was trying to track down the perpetrators.
She was also fined 6,000 Hong Kong Dollars ($765) for two counts of making false statements, prompting her to describe the ruling as "a very dark day for all journalists in Hong Kong" and sparking outrage over the city's shrinking press freedom.
