Non-establishment lawmaker Sulu Sou Ka Hou yesterday asked his supporters to “keep hope alive” despite his possible suspension, insisting that he wouldn’t be disappointed even if he were suspended.
Sou made the remarks during a solidarity gathering about his possible suspension from the legislature at Rotunda de Carlos da Maia – popularly known as “Three Lamps” – last night.
According to judicial sources, Sou and fellow activist Scott Chiang Meng Hin stand accused of aggravated disobedience in the wake of a demonstration last year against the public Macau Foundation’s controversial decision to donate 100 million yuan to Jinan University in Guangzhou. After the demonstration, which had been authorised by the authorities, some of the demonstrators reportedly disobeyed police orders not to walk up to an area outside the official residence of the chief executive on Penha Hill. The police accused the protesters at that time of various crimes such as taking part in an illegal gathering and causing public disorder.
