Firebombs thrown at the newspaper company in Hong Kong

On January 12, 2015 two incidents occured in the center of Hong Kong. Two firbombs were thrown by masked assailants in front of Next Media Ltd. headquaters, a newspaper company in Hong Kong and at the same time, several gasoline bombs were thrown in front of the gate of Jimmy Lai's home, who's the ex-president of the newspaper company. Next Media Ltd. is a newspaper company in Hong Kong that supports democratic groups in Hong Kong and they have been published critical articles towards Chinese government. This incident was a shock to me as it seems like the Chinese government exert considerable pressure on the newspaper company to not to give a hand to the democratic group. http://www.wsj.com/articles/petrol-bombs-thrown-at-beijing-critic-jimmy-lais-home-office-1421037182
