Nowadays, not only can police officers cover their faces and warrants to hide their identities; even can police vehicles hide their plate numbers. Well to be honest, even if there are numbers, they are still allowed to shoot or run into anyone they want.

First Anniversary of CUHK Defense War: “Hong Kong Independence” Slogan Reappears but is Quickly Removed

On November 12, 2019, pro-democracy Hongkongers launched the Operation Dawn across different districts.

Debris was thrown to train tracks and Tolo Highway. At the No. 2 bridge of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), the police fired tear gas grenades towards civilians triggering the “CUHK Defense War”.

One year on, graffiti appeared in many places on the CUHK campus on the early morning of November 12, 2020.

Among them, the words “Hong Kong Independence” appeared on the external wall of the University Library located in the Central Campus; however, it was soon covered up with paint.

#CUHK Management Censors Protest Photos Displayed in Exhibition; Flags with “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times” Covered

In a call to the organisers, the university management was concerned with some wordings that might deem provocative. In the exhibition, the protest slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times” which appear on some flags in several photos, were seen covered by black paper.

The provisional president of the Students' Union (#CUSU) pointed out that students had organised many exhibitions on the 1989 Beijing Tiananmen massacre. The university authorities had never expressed any concerns .

However, this time the university management called the students union several times and clearly stated that such an event would cause "dissatisfaction among some alumni, or the students' union would be targeted".

Au is very surprised by such reaction. He worries that the freedom of expression in the university is no longer safeguarded and the #CUSU would face difficulties when organizing similar events.

Au also pointed out that it is very normal for students to care about politics. He doesn’t think that the university president Rocky Sung-chi Tuan, who is currently attacked by Beijing loyslists, has sided with any parties. Au found it absurd for the Police Officers' Association to issue an open letter to condemn Tuan.
