CHINA-CENSORSHIP: HONGKONG'S EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ASKS SCHOOLS TO REMOVE BOOKS THAT MAY VIOLATE NATIONAL SECURITY LAW FROM LIBRARIES
|
The South China Morning Post reported (July 6) that Hong Kong education officials have told schools to review their book collections and immediately remove those titles that might breach Beijing’s National Security Law. The Education Department also instructed schools that pupils should be taught the positive values of safeguarding national security. Principals have called on the Department to seek legal advice and then issue clearer guidelines on schools’ new responsibilities.
