嶺南大學以裝修為由,要求學生會及轄下9個組織於週五(27日)撤出會址。在期限前一日,幹事會忙於執拾物資,盡量把電器及重要刊物,如八九民運刊物等運走。上莊不足三個月即要遷離,副會長溫朗晴直言不期望日後能重返原址,但預計仍會繼續籌辦活動:「因為一早知條路唔易行,所以都係且行且走。」

Having to leave less than three months after taking office, vice-president Wan Long-ching said she did not expect to return to the original premises, but anticipated that activities would continue: “Because we knew from the start that the road would not be easy, we’ll just carry on as we go.”

After City University of Hong Kong reclaimed the student union’s premises, the union moved off campus in February this year and held a farewell ceremony.

Last month, the university wrote to several students who had attended the ceremony, alleging that they had breached the gathering restriction, committed offences relating to seditious intent under the Crimes Ordinance, and committed criminal damage at the Democracy Wall, among other matters. A student who denied wrongdoing told Independent Media that they had received another email from the university this month. In response to Independent Media, CityU said that its departments had established procedures for handling various university matters, which should not be subject to external interference or disruption.
