(1st UPDATE) Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal says a 'substantial and grave injustice' was done to Bao Choy by inferring she knowingly made false statements when accessing a search application database for vehicle registration records.
HONG KONG – Hong Kong’s top court on Monday, June 5, overturned the conviction of journalist Bao Choy, who had been accused of making false statements to access vehicle registration records for a documentary about an attack on pro-democracy protesters in 2019.
For the documentary “7.21 Who Owns the Truth”, Choy, who worked for local broadcaster RTHK, obtained data on the ownership of cars seen in video footage that night, hoping to trace those behind the assault and highlight the alleged slow response of police. In a written judgement on Monday, the Court of Final Appeal said a “substantial and grave injustice” was done to Choy by inferring that she knowingly made false statements when accessing the vehicle registration record database.“More importantly, it states the importance of the constitutionally protected freedom of the press and speech. That’s the biggest significance of today’s ruling,” she said.
