Hong Kong police on Nov. 3 arrested a reporter who produced a television program exposing the police force’s delayed response to a violent mob attack on pro-democracy protesters in 2019, further stoking fears of a crackdown on free press in the city.

Choy Yuk-ling, also known as Bao Choy, is a producer at Hong Kong’s public broadcaster RTHK. She was arrested at her home on suspicion of making false statements while conducting a vehicle registration search, which was related to her TV investigation, according to police.
