SCMP Reporters

We are saddened by what happened to our photographer Felix Wong in Shenzhen today and condemn the excessive police force used against him particularly after he repeatedly identified himself as a reporter. Felix is now receiving medical treatment. We do not condone violent behavior in any circumstance and we will be lodging an official complaint to the Shenzhen municipal authorities.
-SCMP Editor in Chief Wang Xiangwei
