As the protest against the government’s extradition bill continues in Hong Kong, there have been many cases of abuse from police against journalists, according to a recent report.

The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) stated in a press release on June 17 that it has conducted interviews with 26 journalists, who provided either photographic or video evidence to support their claims of abuse from certain police officers during incidents that played out from June 10 and June 14.
