A treacherous journey to safety
A treacherous journey to safety for an Afghan reporter; the impact of Hong Kong’s national security law on media four years after its enactment; and in Africa, the dangers for journalists covering environmental crimes. Here’s our Press Freedom recap.
In the four years since Hong Kong enacted its national security law, the country's press freedom record is in free fall, according to media advocates.
More than 900 journalists have lost their jobs, several media outlets have closed or moved overseas, and some journalists, including pro-democracy Apple Daily publisher Jimmy Lai, are in prison.
"The Chinese and Hong Kong government's forced closure of Apple Daily and prosecutions of its owner and editors are very chilling, and they exemplify the city's sharp decline in press and other freedoms," said Maya Wang, the interim China director of Human Rights Watch, also known as HRW.
