(HKJA/IFEX) – The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Federation of Journalists, Hong Kong Journalists Association, Hong Kong News
Executives’ Association and Hong Kong Press Photographers Association
strongly condemn the brutal attack on radio program host Albert Cheng.
**See IFEX alerts of 20 August 1998**
After Mr. Cheng was attacked in the carpark at Commercial Radio on the
morning of August 19, each of the five organizations condemned the act. Now
we are standing together to show solidarity. This act of violence should not
be tolerated by society and should be condemned. No matter what the
attackers’ motivation may be, to resort to violence is an act of cowardice.
We hereby state that the media will not be intimidated by such violence. We
urge the police to do all they can to solve this case. Those who are found
responsible should be brought to justice.
