Reporters Without Borders condemns new cases of censorship and self-censorship <\/p>\n
AS THE Occupy Central movement continues its pro-democracy demonstrations, local and foreign media whose coverage angers the government are suffering consequences. <\/p>\n
Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily is paying a high price for supporting Occupy Central. <\/p>\n
Members of a counter-movement have been surrounding the headquarters of the newspaper, which announced its pro-Occupy Central position on 11 October. For three days, the papers activities have been disrupted, with delivery trucks prevented from entering. As a result, distributors have not been fully supplied. Delivery of the International New York Times, carried by the same trucks, was also affected. <\/p>\n
During the third day of the anti-newspaper action, the demonstrators most of them women wearing face masks defied a High Court order of 14 October that they lift the siege. But police did not proceed to arrest them, effectively allowing the delivery truck blockade to continue. <\/p>\n
