香港报业公会声明﹕强烈谴责一切对待记者的不理性及暴力行为 

香港报业公会一直关注近月连串大型活动中，记者在采访时受到伤害的情况。从被辱骂，袭击及不同程度的阻碍正常的采访等，情况更是日趋严重，如昨天机场事件。

采访是记者的职责，为社会大众提供资讯及了解事实的真相，任何人士不应粗暴对待履行职务的记者。本会强烈谴责一切对待记者的不理性及暴力行为。希望社会大众冷静下来，停止一切暴力。

 

Statement by The Newspaper Society of Hong Kong on irrational and violent acts against journalists 

The Newspaper Society of Hong Kong is deeply concerned that many reporters have been victimised while covering mass activities in recent months. From being the subjects of insults and attacks to having their reporting activities disrupted, the situation, as shown by what happened at the airport yesterday, is getting worse day by day. 

Newsgathering is the duty of journalists, who seek to provide the public with information and facts to ascertain the truth. No one should mistreat journalists in the course of their work. We strongly condemn all forms of irrational and violent acts against journalists. We hope that the community would allow emotions to calm down and end all forms of violence.
