FT journalist denied entry to Hong Kong

Description

Rights campaigners have denounced Hong Kong's barring of a senior Financial Times journalist as another blow to press freedom in the city which has come under increasing pressure from an assertive China. Amnesty International said it was a "distressing signal" about the state of press freedom in Hong Kong and smacked of "retaliation" against the reporter.
