HKJA and FCC strongly condemn violence against Hong Kong journalists by mainland authorities during Wukan crackdown
We strongly condemn Chinese public security officers’ violent treatment of Hong Kong journalists reporting on the confrontation between public security officers and villagers in Wukan, Lufeng, Guangdong.
We call on the Hong Kong government to look into the matter and take effective measures to protect the rights and safety of journalists working in the mainland.
At least five journalists and photographers from Ming Pao, SCMP and HK01 were beaten and removed by plain clothes policemen from their hideout in Wukan where villagers have been protesting against unfair land acquisition.
Troops of policemen have been sent in to muster the protest resulting in more than 70 arrests so far.
The journalists were held in custody for six hours until they had signed statement promising not to report on Wukan protest in the future and were returned to Hong Kong unwillingly.

Important Notification: Kitchen Upgrade + Temporary Closure of Bert’s
Dear members,
The FCC will undertake a total refurbishment of its kitchen during August and September which will see all major fittings ripped out and replaced with modern equipment. This upgrade is long overdue as for many years Chef George and his team have done a heroic job maintaining our high quality food offering despite operating in an outdated work environment. As a result, from Monday 1 August until late September all cooking will take place in a very small temporary kitchen located behind the serving area in Bert’s Bar. During this period we will offer a simplified menu, which we hope will still satisfy members’ basic desire for sustenance, even if choice is greatly reduced.
Throughout the renovation period it will be necessary to close Bert’s which will be used as a temporary food preparation and storage area. During this time it is our intention to offer a number of live music events in the Main Dining Room, so do watch this space for details. From Saturday 23 July, the pool table section of Bert’s will close while the rest of the bar and restaurant area will run normally until Saturday 30 July and close thereafter. Rest assured Bert’s will be back in business in early October after the walls and flooring receive a well-deserved touch up. During the kitchen renovation the work room will operate as normal, with a passageway kept free to give access for members.
Please see an attached article from the July/ August edition of the Correspondent which gives
more details of the renovation. Also attached is a copy of the simplified menu which we plan to offer throughout August and September.
We would appreciate your patience during this time and look to welcoming you back to an enhanced FCC.
Yours truly
FCC House Committee
