Former students rally to support class boycott

Former students rally to support class boycott

Around 80 former students of the Diocesan Girls' School gathered outside the school on Tuesday in support of students boycotting class.



University student unions and secondary school alliances have urged pupils to boycott classes to put pressure on the government to respond to the demands of anti-extradition bill opponents.



The former students lined up outside the school dressed in black and holding placards.



One participant said she was there to support the students, who have been told by the school that they shouldn't wear black face masks when joining class boycotts because some other students feel uncomfortable with this.



She said she hoped the school would allow students to freely express their views and remain free from what she described as white terror.
