University Authoritites Censor Opinion Boards on Campus
Ever since the National Security Law came into force in HK on 30 June 2020, red lines were imposed everywhere. At universities, "Democracy Wall" and Lennon Wall, where people express their opinions, have been a symbol of free speech but were “sanitized” by the university authorities.
At University of Hong Kong, pro-indepedence wordings were removed. The students’ union cited the university management that any mention of “HK Independence” or “expelling Chinese Communists” would no longer be allowed on campus.
The HK University of Science and Technology even forbids blank post-it notes on notice boards. A Students' Union member lamented that not only on campus but in all Hong Kong there is no room to express oneself freely, "One might risk breaching the [national security] law even by not speaking.”

Democracy Wall Becomes Lennon Wall During the Commemoration of Battle of CUHK
A year after the police's attempt to siege the university campus, the students' union of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) held a retrospective exhibition on the campus.
The venue was crowded as many visitors came. As people stuck memos on the "democracy wall" of the students' union, it became a Lennon wall.

#University in HK to Tighten Control of the Opinion Expression: Posts on #DemocracyWall Requires Real Name and Restricts Content
In the universities in Hong Kong, the "Democracy Wall", a free posting notice board on campus, has been a symbol of free speech.
After the forceful enactment of National Security Law (#NSL) in Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) has pressured the Students Union for several times about the setting up of the pro-democracy #LennonWall.
Recently, the Student Union committee members received an email from the Staff-Student Central Management Committee about an online meeting to be held on Dec 8, 2020, which will discuss "new rules" for the Democracy Wall. The new rules proposed by the university include real-name posting and content which cannot "go against the facts".
The students union acting president Au Cheuk-hei said that the university intended to tighten the freedom of speech inside the campus.

Will this be Kwai Chung Plaza Lennon Wall's Last Exhibition?
In December 2020, a pro-democracy store in Hong Kong named "Yummy Corner" received a notice from the management office and the Owners' Corporation of the shopping mall Kwai Chung Plaza.
The notice states that the rental lease of the store's advertising location, which is currently where the Lennon Wall is located, will not be renewed. The lease will end on January 1, 2021.
Many citizens are heart broken, since the store's "Lennon Wall" has always been the safe haven for residents in Kwai Fong to express their opinion.
There was a new mural at the location since Dec 17, 2020, created by local artists depicting many iconic characters and individuals from the movement, attracting many citizens to visit and take photos.
