HONG KONG (AP) — The protest song 'Glory to Hong Kong' has been banned in the city after an appeals court overturned an earlier ruling.
The song, which became an anthem for pro-democracy protesters during the 2019 anti-government demonstrations, has been a symbol of resistance for many in Hong Kong.
The ban on 'Glory to Hong Kong' comes amidst ongoing political tensions in the city, with authorities cracking down on dissenting voices and expressions of opposition.
The appeals court's decision to ban the song has sparked outrage among supporters of the pro-democracy movement, who see it as a further erosion of freedom of speech and expression in Hong Kong.
Despite the ban, 'Glory to Hong Kong' continues to resonate with many in the city, serving as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for democracy and human rights.
It remains to be seen how the ban on the protest song will impact the broader political landscape in Hong Kong and whether it will deter further acts of protest and resistance.
