School Censors Students' Hand Gesture from Graduate Photos
The education sector in Hong Kong is suffering from white terror lately.
According to a group of CNEC Lee I Yao Memorial Secondary School graduates, their graduation photo was altered because they made the “Five Demands, Not One Less” gesture, known from the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong. In the touched-up photo, their hand gestures were changed from “5, 1” to “4, 2”.
Their parents complained to the photographers about the forced change, but were told the alteration was “an order from the school”. Many criticised that the freedom of speech is exploited and the school cannot even tolerate a hand gesture.
