Hong Kong seeks court ban on democracy protest song


The financial hub’s government said it had asked the city’s high court to ban the song Glory to Hong Kong, an anthem born out of huge pro-democracy protests in 2019.

The government has sought an injunction order, which, if granted, would make Glory to Hong Kong the first song to be banned in the city since the former British colony was handed over to China in 1997.
