Tuesday, March 18, 2008
More than a dozen Hong Kong journalists were ordered to leave Tibet after being accused of "illegal reporting," according to the Hong Kong Journalists' Association.
About 15 journalists from four television stations, two radio and one print media organizations left Lhasa under escort early yesterday.
The association said the decision was "unacceptable" and broke promises to grant reporters greater freedom to report and travel in the runup to the Beijing Olympics.
Hong Kong journalists who were in their hotel rooms were asked to leave at midnight by public security officers, according to TVB news.
Digital photos and videos showing the situation were deleted
