Hong Kong’s Foreign Correspondents’ Club (FCC) has overwhelmingly polled in favour of a motion relating to press freedom. More than half of the board members abstained from the vote.
The non-binding motion was raised at the club’s annual general meeting on Monday, just weeks after the FCC made the decision to scrap the Human Rights Press Awards over legal concerns. The move was widely criticised and sparked questions about the club’s commitment to upholding press freedom in the city.
