Since June , dozens of journalists have received emails and letters with defamatory content to their home addresses, workplaces and other venues.
Facebook users had also posted “hateful content” targeting media outlets and journalists in private Facebook groups.
HKJA condemns attempts to use “illegal means such as threats and harassment to hinder and scare journalists from performing their constitutionally-protected work.
HKJA has arranged counselling services for those emotionally affected by this campaign.
