Panel condemns magazine over gruesome report
The Hong Kong Press Council yesterday condemned a Chinese-language weekly magazine, Easyfinder, for publishing in June a gruesome story about how a 13-year-old enjoyed abusing and killing dogs.
The council, which received 22 complaints about the report from readers between June 9 and June 18, described the content as indecent and obscene.
Technicians badly burned in plant room blaze
Two technicians were admitted to hospital in serious condition after a fire broke out in the plant room where they were making repairs at 11.30am.
Four men were making repairs in the ground-floor plant room at Block A of Yau Tong Industrial City in Yau Tong. They suffered facial and arm burns and were taken to the United Christian Hospital.
The blaze was put out before emergency services arrived, but smoke was still pouring out from the plant room and firemen had to put on breathing gear to go into the room to investigate the cause of the fire.
