Members of Scholarism have accused Hong Kong Post of acting politically in refusing to send out 80,000 leaflets from the student activist group to housing estates.
The leaflets contained information on political reform, and explained why its important to take part in civil disobedience action if the SAR was not granted genuine democracy.
Scholarism spokesperson, Agnes Chow, questioned why the leaflets had violated regulations.
"We are not talking about the exact date and time that we will have the civil disobedience action, so this is not really an illegal action," she said.
Hong Kong Post has rejected the accusation, saying that under existing regulations, it will not deliver items that contain illegal information or are considered obscene.
But the Hong Kong Post's staff union examined the leaflets and said they didn't fall into that category.
