周庭透露已到加拿大升學不再回港 離開前須隨國安「返大陸」
Agnes Chow, known as the “Scholarism goddess”, turned 27 today. She had not appeared or spoken publicly for a long time since being released from prison in June the year before last. In a lengthy post, she revealed that she had gone to Canada for further studies three months ago. She said that after her release, she developed anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and depression, among other emotional disorders. To apply to study overseas, she had been required by national security officials to “visit mainland China” and write a letter saying, “I am grateful to the police for arranging this, enabling me to understand the great development of the motherland.”
被稱為「學民女神」的周庭今日27歲生日，自前年6月出獄後久未公開露面及發言的她，撰長文透露自己3個月前已到加拿大升學。她說，自出獄後患上焦慮、驚恐、創傷後壓力及抑鬱等情緒病，並為申請到海外留學，曾應國安要求「返大陸」及撰寫「感謝警方安排，使我能了解祖國的偉大發展」的信件。
