Shanghai court sentenced today a documentary filmmaker Chen Pinlin to 3,5 years in prison. His crime? Releasing a documentary about the “White Paper” protests that spread across China. Yet another brave citizen prosecuted for reporting on situation in the country.

At Reporters Without Borders (RSF) we welcome a resolution adopted by the European Parliament that denounces the deterioration of press freedom in #HongKong & urges the authorities to release journalists detained in the territory, including publisher Jimmy Lai. #FreeJimmyLai

Outrageous. Chinese journalist, who spent 4 years in prison for her coverage of the Covid 19, was just formally arrested under the same trumped-up accusation. Zhang Zhan, who almost died in the detention, now faces additional 5 years in prison. She should be immediately released!
#FreeZhangZhan

Jimmy Lai is on the stand today. This offers a rare chance to have his voice heard.

Lai noted that Apple Daily upheld the value of freedom of speech & hoped the #HongKong people would enjoy such freedom. "The more information you have, the more you are in the know, the more you’re free.” Lai said.
