Web surfers rally over handling of nude photos case
About 300 internet users marched to police headquarters in Wan Chai yesterday to protest against the force's handling of the case of nude photos purported to be of local celebrities.
They urged the police to apologise and immediately release Chung Yik-tin, who was denied bail on January 31 and has since then been held at Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre.
He was the first person arrested in the case and was charged for distributing one photo and possessing 12 obscene photos.
The city's newly appointed Coadjutor Bishop John Tong Hon yesterday also asked people not to circulate any indecent pictures via the Net.
Asked to comment on the saga, the bishop said: 'It is also biblical teaching that we should speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil. It is important that we should keep our mind decent and, perhaps needless to say, we should not post or circulate the pictures.'
