Beijing wants to overhaul HK schools and universities responsible for the democracy protests. FMTNews HK
Occupy Central leader Benny Tai, a law professor, has been fired after China’s implementation of the national security law.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Tai said he would appeal the university’s decision and consider launching a judicial review.“Though I know this is a futile process, Carrie Lam cannot evade… her responsibility of infringing Hong Kong’s academic freedom,” Tai wrote, accusing Beijing of influencing the university’s decision.A staunch non-violence advocate, he was jailed last year over his involvement in huge pro-democracy protests in 2014 that brought parts of the city to a standstill for weeks.
“The University of Hong Kong has sacrificed its reputation and it will not be able to hold its head high in the international academic community,” he added. “Calling all unis with ties to @HKU and claim to uphold #academicfreedom: time to speak up about this outrage,” she tweeted.
