Hong Kong activists slammed for rallying students to boycott schools


HONG KONG (China Daily/ANN): The government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, civic groups and educators blasted some opposition activists and organisations over the weekend for using young students as pawns for their political gain while jeopardising the SAR’s interests.

Their criticism came as opposition activist Joshua Wong Chi-fung teamed up with the Hong Kong Secondary School Action Platform and some 20 trade unions to organize an online ballot to rally support for general strikes and class boycotts to oppose the national security legislation for the city.
