Well done that firm although it has to be said it looks as though they had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the decision
HKFP report..
Mayer Brown pulls out after a week of pressure. Meanwhile, HKU head Xiang Zhang did not respond to HKFP’s questions as to whether free expression was still assured on campus.
US law firm Mayer Brown will no longer work with the University of Hong Kong (HKU) in their efforts to remove a Tiananmen Massacre statue from their campus.
It comes after more than a week of media and political pressure, and an open letter from 28 civil society groups, urging the firm to stop supporting the removal of the monument to the 1989 victims, which has stood on campus for 24 years.
