The President of #HongKong Journalist Association said on Monday that he fears the @hkpoliceforce has a list of journalists that they may want to target following the arrest of another former #AppleDaily editor at the airport last night. news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/compon…
"They hoped to protect more staff, to protect their safety, since we supposed that if Apple Daily was still running, more staff would be arrested. But we can still see many well-known journalists or commentary writers being arrested," he said.
"We are afraid that they have a list and still many journalists or commentary writers will be targeted by the police. So I'm afraid that the arrests will continue."
Chan said the authorities should clarify how reporters and editors can avoid breaking the security law which was implemented a year ago this week.
"We are still very confused as to what is the standard of committing a crime under the national security law. We are still worried that writing reports, comments or editorials would be evidence of committing crime," he said.
