A Hong Kong public library employee has been suspended after being held responsible for displaying books by jailed Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai Chee-ying as “the librarian’s choice” last week.
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department launched a “rigorous and thorough investigation”, after Yeung Hok-ming, a member of the pro-Beijing Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), posted pictures on social media of at least 10 books written by Lai on a rack of recommended reading at the Shek Tong Tsui Public Library in Sai Wan.
