Hong Kong, Apr 29 (EFE/EPA).- Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters gathered Wednesday at a shopping mall to denounce a District Court Judge who handed down a controversial judgement, sympathizing with a man who admitted to stabbing three people at a "Lennon Wall" last August. The judiciary said this week that the judge in question would no longer handle any more protest-related cases.

Hong Kong, May 28 (EFE/EPA) .- The debate on a bill that would make it illegal to insult or abuse the Chinese national anthem was suspended on Thursday in Hong Kong after an opposition lawmaker hurled something into the chamber setting off a strong odour. The Legislative Council (the Hong Kong parliament) on Wednesday was scheduled to debate on a draft law seeking to penalize "disrespect" to the March of the Volunteers, or the Chinese national anthem.If approved, anyone who found to misuse or show disrespect to the anthem would face sentences of up to three years in prison and fines of up to HK$50,000. Hong Kong has been gripped for several years by political unrest and demonstrations, which had been gaining momentum in the months leading up to the coronavirus outbreak, which led to them being suspended.The territory was returned to Chinese control in 1997 after a century and a half of British rule, after London and Beijing signed a joint declaration in 1984 under which the UK renounced its last Asian colony.This deal established a series of freedoms in the city for 50 years, many of which do not exist on mainland China.
