Hong Kong Man Files Complaint About Broadcast Of Forced Confession

Simon Chang was detained in China for 15 days on charges of soliciting prostitutes, during which he claims he was tortured for information about the UK's role in Hong Kong protests. His forced confession was aired by Chinese state media in the UK. Chang, with the help of a human rights group, filed a complaint with the UK's Office of Communications, arguing that airing the confession violates the British Broadcasting Code and the European Convention on Human Rights. The UK is investigating CGTN, the Chinese station that aired the confession, for potential violations, similar to the case of Iran's Press TV in 2012.
