3rd September 2026 – (Hong Kong) The controversy over Hong Kong City University’s orientation camp has intensified after fresh images purportedly from the same event circulated on social media, appearing to show male and female students with bruises on their thighs and red marks across their backs. The Management Sciences Society’s executive committee has already apologised and disbanded, but the university has said it will impose disciplinary action in accordance with the gravity of the case and has formed a disciplinary investigation committee.
The latest posts, shared without detailed context such as dates or background, include one photo of five students displaying bruised thighs and another of two male students lifting their shirts to reveal extensive red marks. The images followed an earlier short clip, described as showing a CityU orientation activity, in which a female student wearing a red bra was carried in a so‑called “princess lift” by a shirtless male participant, prompting public concern and debate.
Online commenters speculated that the visible injuries may have resulted from games played during the camp, with reactions ranging from criticism of the activities to expressions of school pride. On Wednesday, 2nd September, the Management Sciences Society’s executive committee issued a further apology and confirmed its dissolution in line with a decision by the CityU Students’ Union. The university reiterated it is treating the matter seriously and will proceed with disciplinary measures following the investigation’s findings.
