HK radicals bereft of decency and morality

In an appalling move that should have shocked anyone with a conscience anywhere in the world, the Hong Kong University Students' Union Council on Wednesday night observed "a minute of silence" for the death of Leung Kin-fai, who took his own life after stabbing an on-duty police officer in the back in a busy street in Hong Kong on the night of July 1.

The council then proceeded to pass a motion to express its "deep sadness" at the assailant's death, as well as its "appreciation for his sacrifice to Hong Kong". Such a brazen display of contempt for human decency and the most basic moral standards in no way represents the will of the majority of HKU students; and it could not have been sanctioned by them.

Obviously, it is another stunt by those political zealots, whose minds and souls have been twisted by ideological bigotry and who have managed to get a grip on the council and made it a handy platform to promote their political agenda. There is no doubt they took such a hideous decision to vent their anger and frustration over their inability to further pursue their illegal political aspirations after the promulgation of the National Security Law for Hong Kong, aside from other malicious purposes.
