U.S.-based nonprofit the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has urged the Hong Kong police to conduct a fast and thorough investigation into the arson attack against the Hong Kong edition of The Epoch Times’ printing press.
The attack took place in the early hours of Nov. 19, when four masked men dressed in black entered the printing warehouse located in the neighborhood of Tsuen Wan. According to surveillance footage, the men, two of whom wielded batons, threatened the workers inside the facility not to move, while one man poured flammable liquid on the factory floor, before another man lit a fire.
