At least eight unidentified people have razed the pro-democracy message board at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), according to the student union.
The white-clad group arrived at the “Lennon Walls” on Upper University Street at around 7 pm on Saturday, wearing gloves and carrying detergent as well as plastic bags, the union’s Executive Committee wrote on Facebook.
The group then left via the connecting HKU MTR station, CampusTV reported.
“The Lennon Walls were created by students of the University of Hong Kong [over] months, yet were sabotaged in minutes. Such [vandals] disregarded students’ freedom of expression, and even inhumanely sabotaged the altar of martyrs. This Committee strongly condemns such acts,” the union wrote.
“In [the] face of various suppressions, we shall never surrender. We vow to safeguard the freedom of expression of students. The Lennon Wall in the University certainly will not vanish and students’ voices will not be stamped out.”
