Hong Kong journalist denied entry to Macau by Chinese officials
Hong Kong: A Hong Kong journalist was denied entry to Macau after he was stopped and questioned at a checkpoint manned by officials from mainland China, his employer said on Tuesday.
Jack Tsang, a reporter from Hong Kong’s Now TV News, was heading to Macau by coach over the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge on Monday, the South China Morning Post reported citing the broadcaster as saying.
The reporter was held for more than two hours and told that he was denied entry “for the next few days”. He was also searched and photographed before he was put on a coach back to Hong Kong, the broadcaster added.
However, a photographer from the same media outlet who was traveling with the reporter was allowed to enter the city. Both journalists had registered with the Macau authorities in advance, the television network said. (IANS)
