An award-winning Hong Kong journalist has won an appeal quashing her conviction related to her work on an investigative documentary.
ADDS IDENTITY OF THE PERSON CHOY IS HUGGING - Award-winning Hong Kong journalist Bao Choy hugs Sham Yee-lan, former Hong Kong Journalists Association chairperson, after being cleared by the city's top court in Hong Kong, Monday, June 5, 2023. Choy won an appeal quashing her conviction related to work on her investigative documentary Monday in a rare court ruling upholding media freedom in the territory.
Choy was fined 6,000 Hong Kong Dollars for two counts of making false statements at that time and called it “a very dark day for all journalists in Hong Kong.” That ruling also sparked outrage among local journalists over the city’s shrinking press freedom. Even if it did not, it was “not an irresistible inference that she knew that to be false," the judgment said. There is no reason that “bona fide journalism” should be excluded from the phrase, it added.
She said she hoped the outcome would be encouraging news to all reporters still working hard in the city.
