#BREAKING HK top court ruled in favour of journalist @Baochoy’s appeal , quashing all her conviction and fines as the court found “there was no reason that bona fide investigative journalism … should be excluded from the phrase ‘other traffic and transport related purpose’.”
Choy was found guilty of “making false statement” 2 years ago for choosing the purpose of “other traffic and transport related matters” on the application form for car owner info from public registries controlled by the Transport Dept.
Choy’s search was for her award winning investigative report on #721YuenLongAttack in 2019. The application form then provided only 3 purposes for applicants after an amendment to remove the open-ended “other:” column in Oct 2019.
Choy was fined for HKD6,000 (USD765) for the conviction. She brought her case to the Court of Appeal but was rejected by senior judge Alex Lee. Choy fought on and lodged a final appeal, which was heard last month.

Beijing’s top man on HK Macau affairs Xia Baolong is set to deliver a speech to over 1,000 officials and guests in HKCEC for the national security education day ceremony. Multiple government information services officers at the scene said things are not in their hands… Image
…and should reporters have questions such as how many journalists were successfully registered to cover the event, and what is in the brochure on each of the chair for the ceremony attendees , reporters should ask the host - National Security Committee- directly. Image
One interesting detail at the scene - where the theme slogan is “national security,foundation of stability and prosperity” - bottled water prepared for the guests is of German brand Landpark. Image
