Guest speakers on an outdoor live show broadcast by unlicensed Citizens' Radio in Mong Kok early this month were defiant yesterday in the face of possible prosecution.
They vowed to ignore a letter from the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (Ofta) inviting them to help with an investigation into whether broadcasting laws had been broken.
Those who received the letter also vowed to press ahead with a live show outside Ofta's headquarters in Wan Chai to be broadcast on 102.8FM at 7pm tomorrow.
They include former radio-show hosts Claudia Mo Man-ching, Peter Lam Yuk-wah, Wong Yuk-man and Leung Man-to, legislators Lee Wing-tat, Lee Cheuk-yan and 'Long Hair' Leung Kwok-hung, and station convenor Tsang Kin-shing.
The 'notice of investigation', asked them to set up a meeting with the office within 14 days in relation to an investigation into a violation of sections of the Telecommunication Ordinance.
It was sent on October 5, a day after the live show in the Mong Kok pedestrian area.
The ordinance states it is a criminal offence for anyone to operate a radio transmitter without a licence, or for anyone to deliver any message on that transmitter.
