Hong Kong Protests Prominent at World Press Photo Exhibition after being Nixed
The prestigeous World Press Photo Contest Exhibition was initially
scheduled to open on March 1 at Baptist University, which cancelled
at the last minute after a pro-Beijing newspaper accused it of inciting violence.
The showcase of the annual competition that awards “the best visual journalism”
around the world was nixed as Beijing and local authorities oversee a
sweeping crackdown on dissent in the city.
5 photos from the 2019 Hong Kong anti-extradition protests by Nicolas Asfouri
of Agence France-Presse won first prize in the 'General News, Stories'
category, attracting lots of attention.
The winning images by Asfouri include a shot of a police officer brutally
kneeing the neck of a downed protester and a group of teenage girls in
school uniforms holding hands in a human chain protest against the
now-withdrawn extradition bill in September of 2019.
The exhibition features 10 visual stories including pro-democracy protests
in Iraq, Algeria, and Hong Kong and other overlaying themes like climate change.
AFP photographer Yasuyoshi Chiba won Photo of the Year with an
image of a man in Sudan reciting poetry during anti-government protests.
In October 2020, the same exhibition was shut down a week early
without explanation by authorities in neighbouring Macau.
A total of 157 photographs by 44 photojournalists from around
the world are showcased at theDesk, 5/F, United Centre in Admiralty, through
April 10. Advance registration is required and free tickets are gone
quickly by popular demand.
