Hong Kong activists protest with rebel radio broadcast

From AFP, via Taipei Times


Hong Kong activists have defied the law by airing a pro-democracy unlicensed broadcast in a bid to counter what they see as the loss of media freedom in the Chinese territory.

Citizens’ Radio, run by a group of 10 activists, broadcast a trial program on Monday evening on the same frequency as that used by a radio station owned by local tycoon Li Ka-shing (ÊùéÂòâË™†).

The activists one month ago applied for a license from the Broadcasting Authority to operate a radio station but have yet to receive a response.
