Hong Kong pro-democracy radio station closes citing ‘dangerous’ political situation

Citizens' Radio to close on third anniversary of national security law that has led to demise of several other liberal media outlets

Hong Kong's pro-democracy online Citizens' Radio station will cease operations on Friday owing to what its founder described as a dangerous" political situation and the freezing of its bank account.

Launched in 2005 by veteran activist Tsang Kin-shing, the Cantonese-language broadcaster gained a steady following for its hard-hitting talkshows that were critical of authorities, as well as its years-long campaign for press freedom.
