A former assistant professor at the School of Visual Arts of Baptist University (HKBU) and political cartoonist has emigrated to the UK after he was reported to the police for an academic article on the anti-extradition movement in September 2021.
Justin Wong, who had focused primarily on satirizing the current social situation in Hong Kong, was reported by HKBU’s higher-ups over his article. The article contained images of the sensitive slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Time.” He then decided to give up his faculty post and leave Hong Kong for good in the same year.
