Police Alarmed Despite Citizens' Peaceful Activities Nearby Lennon Walls

As citizens rebuilt the Lennon Wall in different districts on January 11, police were deployed to patrol frequently, despite that Lennon Wall has been a very peaceful means of expression.

In the “Lennon Tunnel” nearby Tai Po Market Railway Station, several patrolling policemen record the posters about the Police Force with their phones.

HK government: Lennon Wall tarnishing Hong Kong’s image

The Highways Department, Lands Department, Police Department, Transport Department and Food Environmental and Hygiene Department responded in writing to Tai Po District Council, opposing Lennon Wall displays due to environmental and hygiene concerns. They also reasoned that Lennon Walls are tarnishing Hong Kong's image abroad and aggravating societal conflicts.

Herman Yiu Kwan-ho, member of Community Alliance did not agree with the reasons given by the government and countered this argument by saying that the behaviour of the police force could be more damaging to Hong Kong’s reputation.

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.
