The denial of over-the-air terrestrial broadcast license to Hong Kong upstart TV Network HKTV may violate the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights(ICCPR), which requires a government to be objective and reasonable, clear, transparent, and non-discriminatory in order to protect the freedom of speech, opinion and expression. Over 470,000 people have signed a Facebook petition protesting the decision to reject HKTV's license application, and this is created to gather official response for international awareness.
