The 7th University in Hong Kong ceases recognition of its Students’ 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 ‘provisional’ 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 union’s HK$9 million reserve will also be “kept under the custody” of the university’s Finance Office.
In just one year, seven of eight universities in Hong Kong has cut ties with their students’ 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).

Hong Kong National Police arrested social activists before a planned Winter Olympics demonstration
Veteran pro-democracy activist Koo Sze-yiu, was re-arrested today (February 4) on suspicion of inciting subversion of state power. The charge carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
The 75-year-old member of the League of Social Democrats was taken into custody at his Cheung Sha Wan home shortly after 6am, and was being held at Cheung Sha Wan Police station for questioning.
Koo informed the media about his plan for the demonstration outside Beijing’s Liaison Office in the city that morning to protest China’s Winter Olympics, calling for attention to political activists behind bars.
The police also arrested four other people to assist with the investigation, local media said, although it was unclear if they had also been arrested.
He will be on trial at 9:30am at West Kowloon Magistrate Court on February 5.
Koo was jailed in January 2021 for desecrating the Chinese national flag. It was the tenth prison sentence in his last 30 years.
The veteran social activist who is suffering from the fourth stage of cancer was sent to Stanley Prison in April 2021 for 5 months.

Disappearing pro-democracy "Yellow Art". Do you still remember him?
Hidobo is a street artist in Hong Kong, who quietly records historic moments of the Hong Kong #AntiELABmovement with spray. Yet, his visa will soon expire on February 9. Without an extension, he has to leave Hong Kong by then.
#Hidobo will not set up his street stall at Mong Kok anymore. If you happen to see him around the corner of the street, leave him alone. Let him enjoy the remaining few days in Hong Kong.
Had a conversation with Hidobo. He is strong-minded. He has been rejected for visa extension for multiple times. If he decides not to leave, he will be arrested. If he decides to leave, he doesn’t know where to go.
His homeland is politically unstable and facing a war. He does not have a clear idea of his future once he is forced out of Hong Kong.
"I have no idea where I can go next, probably #Ukraine. I am still unsure."
"The HK authorities do not let me stay. They refused to extend my visa. So, I must leave before February 9. I tried to discuss this with staff member of HK authorities with a hope to extend my visa. But I was rejected. I have no other choice but leave before my visa expires."
"I thought about coming back to Hong Kong. But I could be blacklisted. It is likely that I will not be allowed to come back. I do want to return to Hong Kong."
"There are so many uncertainties in life that I don't even know what will happen next."

75yo activist remains in custody until April on inciting subversion charge
Hong Kong activist Koo Sze-yiu appeared before a national security judge in the Kowloon City Magistrates’ Courts on February 5, the day after he was arrested for inciting subversion.

As Koo stepped into the defendant’s dock, he tried to wave and thank his supporters in the courtroom, but was immediately stopped by court security.
Later on when the magistrate asked Koo whether he understood the charges against him, Koo shouted, “Human rights rank above the right of states, and the people are more important than the state. I am not guilty.”
He was soon interrupted by the judge and ordered to cease shouting.
Without a legal representative, Koo applied for bail on his own, and was denied. He was not required to enter a plea as the Judge adjourned the case to April 1, 2022. Koo would be remanded in custody until then.
