Further Suppression of Freedom of speech: University Authorities Remove Pro-Freedom Banners

On Sept 5, 2020, 3 staff members of Production Center and 2 teaching assistants of School of Creative Media removed banners hanged outside of Creative Media Center (#CMC) at Run Run Shaw, City University of Hong Kong (#CityU).

During a strike in support of the Anti-ELAB movement last year, students hanged two banners quoting the book 1984 by George Orwell: “Freedom is freedom to say that two plus two make four,” and “We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.”

According to Production Center staff, the removal was conducted under demand of Dean Richard Allan Williams. Persons revealed that Facilities Management office (FMO) was suspected to put pressure to the School of Creative Media to remove the banners.
