Christina Chan
Christina Chan (born 25 April 1987[citation needed]) is a political activist in Hong Kong, known for her stand on human rights, democracy and Tibetan independence. She is[when?] enrolled in a premaster's degree in philosophy in the University of Hong Kong.
Christina was born in Hong Kong, where she attended the True Light Girls' College. She went on to study at Warminster School and Bromsgrove School in the United Kingdom for her secondary education.[citation needed] Afterwards, she returned to Hong Kong and obtained an associate degree in social science in Hong Kong Baptist University and the City University of Hong Kong[citation needed] before studying English and philosophy at the University of Hong Kong, where she was conferred a bachelor's degree with first-class honours in June 2008. She subsequently received a scholarship to continue her studies at HKU's Master of Arts in philosophy.
She was a host on Radio Television Hong Kong's TeenPower programme. She also formerly worked as a part-time model, and was once featured in a Coca-Cola advertisement.
Chan became known by the general public during the Olympics torch relay in Hong Kong where she held the Tibetan snow lion flag, and engaged in a confrontation with the pro-Beijing camp. She was forcibly removed by the Hong Kong Police Force, who claimed it was "for her protection".
In April 2009, Ayo Chan Yat-ngok (陳一諤), the president of the Hong Kong University Students' Union, made a speech on the issue of the Tiananmen massacre, which provoked widespread student opposition; in response, Christina Chan and four other students started a campaign to impeach him. Ayo was deposed after the General Polling.[citation needed]
Chan was arrested on 9 January 2010 over her alleged assault on a policewoman during an anti-Express Rail protest on New Year's Day; she was released on HK$500 bail. She claims that while being held at the station, police officers forced her to lift up her shirt so that they could photograph her tattoo. She was acquitted of the assault in September 2010.
In January 2020, she wrote on Hong Kong Free Press, expressing her support for the ongoing protests in Hong Kong and her criticism of 'unchecked police brutality', and urged the law enforcement and judiciary system to restore impartiality.
