Protesters hold vigil over eroding HK press freedom

[dArKeR]

About 1,800 people lit candles at a nighttime rally in Hong Kong to express concern that the right to free speech has been eroded since this former British colony returned to Chinese rule eight years ago.

Popular former radio hosts Albert Cheng and Raymond Wong, known for their outspoken pro-democracy views, led the candlelit vigil in a park late Saturday. Both quit their talk shows last year saying they had been harassed and assaulted.

The crowd greeted Wong with cheers as he came out to address them. Police spokeswoman Annissa Chan said 1,800 turned out.
