HKU Student Union Refuse to Self-Censor under "National Security Law"

The Student Union of the University of Hong Kong reported on 11 July that the Lennon Walls on campus were vandalized by groups in white shirts. Today (14 July), the Student Union will be organizing a reconstruction of the Lennon Walls to encourage the freedom of expression on the campus.

Due to the resurgence of the pandemic, it will be not be a central event. The Student Union Chair, Edy Jeh called for the students to come and post messages at their own pace throughout the day.

She does not wish to see the Lennon Wall vandalized again, and she hopes to defend the students' freedom of speech on campus by not imposing restrictions on what can or cannot be posted.

Court Denies Bail on Mid-Autumn Festival for Student Activists in National Security Case

In Hong Kong, three student activists arrested on national security charges were denied bail by the West Kowloon Court on September 21, 2021, and their case will be adjourned until November 3, 2021.

Student Politicism's convenor #WongYatChin, as well as former members Chan Chi-sum and Jessica Chu, are remanded in custody, away from family and friends on mid-autumn festival.

Chu was visibly saddened when she heard that her bail was denied. Wong, on the other hand, waved at the court attendees, shouting "happy mid-autumn festival!"

Many family and friends who attended their hearing embraced each other in tears outside the court. A number of citizens also waited outside the building and ran after their prisoner vehicle, shouting farewell and encouragements to the three student activists inside.
