HK police said it is amending Police General Order to narrow definition of “media” they recognise and allow to be covering protests in a letter to 4 journo associations. After change, only 2 types of media are recognised: 1) local media registered in gov’s GNMIS system

The police is effectively enforcing a media registration system by narrowing their own definition of “media” and recognising only gov-registered news outlets. This paves the way for even more arrests/ charges against student journalists/ online media reporters covering protests.

HK police now decided that they would not recognize Journalist Association's credentials - they're now amending definition of "media" in their policies. Disclaimer: awaiting more info &/or legal opinion on this

This is a serious blow to freedom of the press. x.com/alvinllum/stat…

Although "Police General Orders" are not legally binding, screening of #media is a direct assault to #FreedomOfThePress & to principles of #1Country2Systems. Online media will carry on the duty to report, continue exercising their freedom. We stand w/ #Journalists in solidarity.
