the "supreme court" illegally "rulea" that the paper should "compensate the plaintiff", a.w. olivier, head of the kowloon electrical workshop, "public works department". it also forbade the paper from carrying further stories about the "plaintiff".

as early as august 28, the british hongkong authorities instigated olivier to send a letter to the "wen wei pao", alleging that the paper "Libelled" him in an article on the sanguinary suppression of workers by the british hongkong authorities. he demanded that the paper withdraw this article and apologize to him.

this shameless intimidation was turned down by the patriotic chinese paper.

then olivier brought a suit against the "wen wei pao" on the charge of "Libel".

on november 25, the british hongkong authorities, disregarding the strong opposition and warnings from patriotic hongkong chinese, brazenly "tried" the "wen wei pao" by default, "ruling" that the paper should compensate the plaintiff". it further threatened to issue an "injunction order" against the paper.

the british hongkong authorities' illegal "sentence" of the "wen wei pao" is an important step in their premeditated, planned destruction of patriotic journalism in hongkong. since august, they have illegally ordered the suspension of the "nongkong evening news", the "afternoon news", the "Lin fung daily news and the "youth's garden". now they are using the *charge" of "Libel" to persecute the "ta kung pao" and the "ching po daily".
