HONG KONG (Sapa-dpa) - The Hong Kong government was Sunday urged to review a decision to allow the daughter of Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe live and study in the city.
Bona Mugabe - whose father is banned from travelling to Britain, the US and Europe - has been studying at the University of Hong Kong since the autumn, according to the Sunday Morning Post newspaper.
The presence of Ms Mugabe in Hong Kong emerged after her 43-year- old mother Grace 10 days ago allegedly assaulted freelance photographer Richard Jones as he took pictures of her shopping while on a visit to the city.
Robert Mugabe also reportedly visited Hong Kong in August - when his daughter would have first arrived to take up her university place -before being refused permission to fly on to China for the Olympic Games.
Senior Hong Kong legislator Emily Lau Wai-hing called for a review over the decision to admit Ms Mugabe, who is studying under an assumed name and whose identity is not known to fellow students.
Australia last year deported eight students whose parents were senior members of the Mugabe regime, saying it wanted to prevent those involved in human rights abuses giving their children education denied to ordinary Zimbabweans.
