Statement by HKAHSS on July 1, 2019

1. The Executive Committee of The Hong Kong Association of the Heads of Secondary Schools (HKAHSS) is gravely concerned about the dispute and conflict arising from the “Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019”.

2. We call on all people to express their views in a peaceful and rational manner, and we strongly condemn illegal behaviours which attack and vandalize the Legislative Council Complex by force.

3. We urge the Government to take immediate and practicable action to collect views from and strengthen its communication with all walks of life. The Government should try its utmost to resume normal social order and take conscientious measures to meet social needs. We also urge the Government to set up an independent commission of inquiry to review the issue of systemic governance of Hong Kong and rebuild mutual trust in the community.

4. Our fellow workers in the education sector will remain steadfast in duty, pay close attention to the emotions of our students, and safeguard their safety and well-being.

For enquiries, please contact Mr Michael Wong Wai-Yu, our Honorary Executive Secretary.
