University Students as Victims of Police Violence:
Rally to Support Arrested Student Journalist


[Editor's note: Over the weekend, at least three university students fell victim to police violence: (1) The said student journalist was arrested and intimidated by the police that "raping boys in San Uk Ling is fun "; (2) A voluntary first aider from Shue Yan University suffered a third degree burnt after being hit by a China-made tear gas grenade; (3) A student of the University of Science and Technology is now in critical condition, after a fall in a car park suspected to avoid the police tear gas.]

This morning (Nov 5), students from Hong Kong Baptist University (BUHK) initiated a rally to support the student journalist arrested on Sunday (Nov 4) and request the university to condemn police violence.

Executive Member of Hong Kong Journalist Association, Luther Ng also joined the rally to support the students. He mentioned in his speech, the police were already obstructing freedom of press in June when they shone strong light at cameras, but the sitiation has worsened: They are now pepper spraying reporters on purpose and even arresting them whilst at work.

The 7th University in Hong Kong ceases recognition of its Studentsā€™ Union

In an internal email sent to students and faculty members on January 20, 2022, the Education University of Hong Kong (#EdUHK) criticized governance of the student union, saying that the Union has been operating under a ā€˜provisionalā€™ body for the past four consecutive years, without proper mandate and therefore lack of student representation.

The university said it will stop offering support to the union, including the collection of membership fees, providing network accounts and services, and offering IT support. Additionally, the student union will lose access to its office space and the right to book and use campus facilities and venues.

The unionā€™s HK$9 million reserve will also be ā€œkept under the custodyā€ of the universityā€™s Finance Office.

In just one year, seven of eight universities in Hong Kong has cut ties with their studentsā€™ union, including the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), the University of Hong Kong (#HKU), the City University of Hong Kong (#CityU), the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong (#PolyU), the Baptist University of Hong Kong (#BUHK) and the Lingnan University of Hong Kong (#LingnanU).
