OUR TELNO 2276: CONFERENCE OF CHINESE STUDENT FEDERATIONS.
1. ALL BUT ONE OF THE OVERSEAS STUDENTS REFUSED ENTRY TO HONG KONG HAVE NOW LEFT (TO TAIWAN). THE LAST ONE WILL FLY TO TAIWAN
WHEN HE HAS OBTAINED A VISA TO GO THERE.
2. NO APPLICATION FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW OF OUR DECISION TO DENY THE STUDENTS ENTRY HAS SO FAR BEEN MADE, AND IT NOW SEEMS POSSIBLE THAT NONE WILL BE.
3. OTHER THAN IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE PRESS, OUR ACTION HAS ATTRACTED VERY LITTLE ATTENTION LOCALLY. EVEN IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE PRESS IT HAS NOT BEEN PARTICULARLY PROMINENT. THERE HAVE
BEEN PLENTY OF OTHER MORE DRAMATIC STORIES TO ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF THE MEDIA. OVERSEAS WE HAVE NOTED SOME (U.S. AND UK) BUT NO GREAT INTEREST IN THE STORY.
