Anger over attack on Hong Kong journalists in China

Hong Kong journalists have condemned an attack on two cameramen outside the Beijing home of the wife of jailed Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo, slamming it as a violation of press freedom.

A security guard tries to stop photos being taken outside the housing compound where jailed Nobel peace laureate Liu Xiaobo and his wife live, on December 28, 2010.
