Citizens’ Radio to close on third anniversary of national security law that has led to demise of several other liberal media outlets

Launched in 2005 by veteran activist Tsang Kin-shing, the Cantonese-language broadcaster gained a steady following for its hard-hitting talkshows that were critical of authorities, as well as its years-long campaign for press freedom.
