HK scandal over topless kidnapping photo
A scandal is raging in Hong Kong after a local tabloid published a topless photo of a well-known Hong Kong actress. The photo had been taken against her will twelve years ago during a kidnapping. The magazine obscured the actress's eyes and breasts and didn't identify her by name, but her identity was nonetheless obvious to most Hong Kong readers. Entertainment industry figures have held rallies denouncing the "serious infringement of privacy." The magazine faces obscenity charges and has since ceased publication in response to the furor. A second Hong Kong magazine fueled the controversy by reprinting the photograph with the actress's body covered but her face clearly revealed.
