The President of Radio Free Asia posted this statement on the RFA website, presumably before the staff were locked out

"The termination of RFA’s grant is a reward to dictators and despots, including the Chinese Communist Party, who would like nothing better than to have their influence go unchecked in the information space."

📎 BlueSky post about the loss of Radio Free Asia by Elaine Pearson, Asia director of Human Rights Watch

bsky.app/profile/elainepearson

BlueSky post by Elaine Pearson of HRW. "Devastating to lose Radio Free Asia from the media landscape in Asia. RFA has many courageous reporters who shone a light on rights abuses that authoritarian governments would prefer to hide. This decision is shortsighted & is a gift to abusive governments in the region."

So many bad decisions and wrongdoings coming down like a waterfall -- but this one just stands out as an egregious and petty self-own.
