HK Authorities Ban #LIHKGPig Motif from Mid-autumn Festival Decorations, Calling it “Unsettling”
The Yau Tsim Mong District Council in Hong Kong earlier proposed the inclusion of the LIHKG pig motif into festival decoration designs.
However, the Government's Home Affairs Department (#HAD) rejected the design, calling it “controversial” and “unsettling” which might jeopardize social harmony. HAD also threatened the District Councilors with the rejection of the whole proposal should organizers insisted keeping the LIHKG pig design.
Ben Lam Siu-pan, Councilor of Yau Tsim Mong District criticized HAD’s decision as an apparent case of political censorship. He would seek clarification from the Obscene Articles Tribunal on whether the LIHKG pig is “unsettling” to social harmony.
