The members of the newly elected student union cabinet of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), known as “Syzygia,” declared their resignation on the same day that they were sworn in due to mounting pressure from university authorities.

Last month, CUHK condemned the cabinet, Syzygia, for their “possibly unlawful remarks” to media and “political propaganda,” according to a statement.
