China’s track record of jailing journalists ‘a growing concern’ for reporters | Sky News AustraliaHuman Rights Watch Australia researcher Sophie McNeill says an “incredibly concerning” situation is emerging in China as foreign journalists in the country face detention and many reporters find it increasingly difficult to secure a visa.\n\n“To not have those eyes on the ground, to not know what is happening there is really damaging,” she told Sky News. \n\nHer comments responded to a recent incident where two Australian journalists were rushed back from China to Sydney after officials in Beijing raised concerns over their safety.\n\nABC Journalist Bill Birtles was interrupted at midnight by seven members of the Chinese police who knocked on his door asking for Mr Birtles to surrender himself for interviews.\n\nHe agreed to speak to them the next day before he rendezvoused at the embassy compound and was subsequently smuggled out of the country.\n\nMs McNeill said, “China is the world’s leading jailer of journalists with at least 48 behind bars according to the committee to protect journalists” and pointed out there were five journalists in Wuhan who disappeared in January. \n\n“At Human Rights Watch we’re really concerned about the local staff who remain behind working for these organisations, other Australian citizens who are working for foreign news outlets who remain there and at the top of our concern is the fate of Chinese journalists”.\n\nImage: AP
