HKFP Lens: Winning photography from the now-axed Human Rights Press Awards – Hong Kong Free Press
Hong Kong Free Press HKFP
Hong Kong news – Independent, impartial, non-profit
The Foreign Correspondents’ Club (FCC) scrapped the 2022 Human Rights Press Awards after defunct outlet Stand News was slated to win a number of prizes. It prompted a board member to step down and eight members of the club’s press freedom committee to resign. HKFP showcases work from photographers that were destined to take home a prize – with striking images from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Thailand and Hong Kong. Note: Graphic images below.
