Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam resigns from Cambridge fellowship


HONG KONG, Aug 16 (dpa): Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam late on Saturday announced she had renounced an honorary fellowship from the University of Cambridge in England, following criticism of the city’s new national security legislation from British activists and politicians.

Lam, a former British citizen and one-time civil servant, was given an honorary fellowship in 2017 by Wolfson College, a constituent college of the university, after she was chosen as Chief Executive of Hong Kong by a small group of electors.
