Beijing Daily’s False Claim

(Washington, DC) – On September 4, 2019, the Beijing Daily published an article titled, “Identity of Foreign Man Arrested by Hong Kong Police Further Confirmed! The Organization Behind is a ‘Repeat Offender.’” The article, citing a social media account, @来点石锤, stated that Benton Rendail Olmsted works for Human Rights Watch. Human Rights Watch has no employee by that name, now or previously.
