Breaking: #HKU is removing the “Pillar of Shame” which is built for Tiananmen victims. Artist Jens Galschiot has asked the HKU to allow his team to enter the campus to repair it but failed to received any reply. NOW, HKU finally decides to remove it n erase the history for CCP.

🚨New pictures showing the #PillarofShame veiled from view at #HKU

Not content with banning Tiananmen vigils. Not content with tearing down monuments. They can’t even bear to let you look.

Let’s honour the memory of those they would like you to forget ➡️ June 4th 2022. 🕯

[Jens Galschiot @Galschiot]

The Pillar of Shame is getting demolished right now in Hongkong. The sculpture has been covered and is heavyly guarded so that no students can document what is going on. This is happening in the middle of the night in Hongkong. Im shoked. #Thepillarofshame😢

What are the consequences of the verdict of Tong Ying Kit’s case? First of all, it sets a dangerous precedent of unfair trial, given the pre-trial settings of designated judges by the Chief Executive, removal of jury trial and year-long pre-trial detention….

Trail without jury & sentencing Tong Ying-kit into jail indicate how fragile China's national security is.

This case would be one of the catalysts to another uprising in the city. Time will tell.

Anyone following the #NSL trial of #TongYingKit would have heard the testimony of prosecution expert witness Lau Chi Pang, who sought yo use the ancient and obsolete meaning of “liberate” and “revolution” (abt 200 CE) and impose it on current affairs…(1/3)

[端木皚 [email protected]🇺🇦🇵🇸🦁 @thomashoylehk]

(2/3) the absurdity of this is that at one point he even accepted attending a “liberate Yuen Long” event without any seditious intent (but he insisted earlier that “liberate” = sedition, 100%)

#Breaking: #TongYingKit, the 1st person charged under #NationalSecurityLaw was found guilty of inciting session & terrorism.

The judgement said the display of Liberate #HongKong, Revolution of Our Times” was capable of inciting other to commit secession.
