The South China Morning Post has won eight prizes at the Human Rights Press Awards.

Between them, the Hong Kong news and internet teams netted special recognition from judges for their 24-hour online coverage of last year's Occupy Central movement, when reporters monitored the Admiralty, Mong Kok and Causeway Bay protest zones around the clock.

Post photographers Cheng Kok-yin and Nora Tam, meanwhile, won the spot-news photography merits for their winning images: "Paul Zimmerman's Yellow Umbrella" and "Boy at the June 4 Vigil".

Assistant photo editor Robert Ng's "Lion Rock" won in the category of photography prizes.
