拒外媒續證｜駐港六年 彭博記者續領工作簽證被拒 香港外國記者會高度關注
Another foreign media journalist has been refused renewal of a Hong Kong work visa. The journalist is understood to be with Bloomberg News and has been based in Hong Kong since 2019. The Foreign Correspondents’ Club, Hong Kong said in a statement that it was highly concerned about the incident, adding that the decision would heighten public concerns about press freedom in Hong Kong, and expressed regret. The Immigration Department, as usual, did not respond to questions about the reason. The Collective is making inquiries with Bloomberg and is awaiting a response.
再有外媒記者被拒絕續領香港工作簽證，據了解涉彭博新聞 (Bloomberg) 一名自 2019 年起駐港的記者。香港外國記者會發聲明表示高度關注事件，指有關決定會加強社會對香港新聞自由的疑慮，表示遺憾。入境處則僅一如以往未有回應原因。《集誌社》正向彭博查詢，仍待回覆。
