“双学三子”之一的周永康,三年前占中前夕带头冲入公民广场,遭律政司上诉改判入狱7个月,故未能继续於伦敦政治经济学院(LSE)修读硕士课程。
校方于当地时间(14日)发表声明,指周永康因民主示威入狱一事引起师生关注,又指教授及同学都对他有极高评价,并承诺提供协助,以让他尽快完成课程。

周永康于去年远赴英国伦敦政治经济学院,修读城市设计及社会科学硕士课程。不过,由于他早前在香港因冲公民广场案而被判入狱,故暂时无法再到英国留学。

校方发表声明,称高度关注他的遭遇,为确保他安好,更特意与英国及香港当局接触。声明又指出,周永康在学期间为学校作出不少贡献,不少教授及学生都对他有高度评价;校方会提供协助,以让他尽快完成课程。

2014年期间,“双学三子”黄之锋、周永康及罗冠聪分别爬过围栏进入公民广场,揭开占领运动序幕。三人随后被判社会服务令或缓刑,惟律政司于今年提出覆核申请,改判3人监禁6至8个月。

声明全文如下:

In August, LSE student Alex Chow was sentenced in Hong Kong to seven months’ imprisonment over his role in the 2014 democracy protests. A number of concerns have naturally been raised by staff and students. The School Management Committee has met to discuss and has issued the following statement: “Alex has made a highly positive contribution as a student during his time at LSE and is very well regarded by professors and fellow students. We are naturally concerned for him and have contacted the UK Government and the Hong Kong authorities to understand his situation and seek reassurances over his wellbeing. We will provide all the support we can to ensure he can complete his studies at LSE as soon as he is able to.”
