THE CASE IN HONG KONG, THE PRESS CORPS GAVE THE POLICE MORE TROUBLE THAN THE DEMONSTRATORS. PRESS REPORTS THAT ZHOU AND ZHANG
WERE BARRACKED AND JOSTLED IF ANYTHING MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBE THE REPORTERS OWN BEHAVIOUR RATHER THAN ANY ACTION BY THE
DEMONSTRATORS.
7. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMENT OR PROTEST FROM NCNA ABOUT
THE INCIDENT.
8. WE CONFIRM THAT ZHOU NAN IS ROUTINELY PROVIDED WITH RHKP PROTECTION ON SUCH OCCASIONS.
