HONG KONG (AFP): The Hong Kong government said on Monday (Aug 7) it will appeal against a senior court's decision not to impose an unprecedented ban on a defiant pro-democracy anthem that emerged from the city's huge protests in 2019.

High Court judge Anthony Chan rejected the government's application last month for an injunction to ban "Glory to Hong Kong", a song written anonymously at the height of the protests.
