Amid Tear Gas and Violence, Epoch Media Reporters Bring the True Story of Hong Kong Protests
by Nicole Hao

It marked a dramatic escalation in violence when an 18-year-old protester was shot by gunfire in the chest by a Hong Kong police officer on Oct. 1.

Nonetheless, reporters, photographers, and videographers from Epoch Times are determined to stay at the frontlines of the protests to deliver first-hand information to readers in Hong Kong and around the world.

In the past few months of protests, Epoch Times reporters have reported on all major rallies, parades, and events held by anti-extradition-bill protesters. They have also interviewed countless local officials, protesters, and other ordinary Hongkongers about their views on the current crisis affecting their city.

While reporting, they sometimes get in the line of fire as police fire tear gas, pepper spray, and projectiles.

“I’m not scared. It might be dangerous but not compared to what the protesters are facing every day. I have the option to go back to a democratic country, but Hongkongers don’t have anywhere to go, and they are standing up for what they think is right,” said Jeremy Sandberg, a reporter from Epoch Media Group.
