HONG KONG: Hong Kong's Court of Appeal on Wednesday banned 'Glory to Hong Kong,' a protest song penned during massive pro-democracy demonstrations in 2019, which was already all but illegal after Beijing imposed a national security law.

The song grew massively popular during the huge and occasionally violent protests and was also secretly recorded by an anonymous orchestra. Its defiant lyrics incorporate the key protest slogan 'Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times.'
