Hong Kong Police Arrest Documentary Producer Over Mob Attack Program

Radio Free Asia

   Police in Hong Kong arrested a producer Tuesday who made a documentary
   for government broadcaster RTHK about a July 21, 2019, mob attack on
   train passengers in Yuen Long.

   Bao Choy, who worked on an investigative documentary showing how police
   were present as baton-wielding men in white T-shirts began to gather in
   Yuen Long ahead of the bloody attack on passengers and passers-by, was
   arrested at her home, RTHK reported.

   Police carried out a search of Choy's home in Mei Foo, and she was
   taken away by officers at about 3.30 p.m., the report said.

   She was arrested on suspicion of road traffic violations relating to
   vehicle registration searches used in the program. Her arrest has
   prompted fears that she is being targeted for political reasons. She
   was released on bail after about six hours of questioning, RTHK
   reported.

   The Hong Kong Connection TV documentary titled "7.21 Who Owns the
   Truth?" showed clips from surveillance cameras at shops in Yuen Long
   and interviewed people who were identified in the footage.

   Its airing forced police to admit they already had a presence in the
   town but did nothing to prevent the attack following initial denials.
