A prominent Hong Kong democracy activist on Wednesday vowed to appeal his sacking by a top university as city leaders and education chiefs were accused of failing to defend academic freedoms under Beijing’s tightening grip.
“There is clear evidence that a power beyond the University has overturned the decision of the University,“ he said, a reference to Beijing.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.State media has previously described him as a “hardcore troublemaker” colluding with foreign forces.
“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.
