Two female Chinese students who promote LGBTQ rights have continued a legal battle seeking a review of punishment and harassment for placing rainbow flags on a university campus, says a report. The pair, identified only as Huang and Li, are students of Tsinghua University in the Chinese capital Beijing. They reportedly placed 10 small pride flags on the university supermarket table in May last year as part of a campaign against homophobia, Radio Free Asia reported on April 1. They also left a note: “Please take one #PRIDE.”
