Hong Kong court rejects government bid to ban protest song

How long this will stand is anybody’s guess..

HONG KONG, July 28 (Reuters) – Hong Kong’s High Court on Friday rejected a government bid to ban the protest song “Glory to Hong Kong”, saying it could undermine freedom of expression and cause potential “chilling effects”.

The government’s application for an injunction came after “Glory to Hong Kong” was played mistakenly at several international sporting events, instead of China’s national anthem “March of the Volunteers”.

China-ruled Hong Kong does not have its own anthem but as a Chinese territory since its return from British rule in 1997, it uses China’s anthem.
