Scuffles broke out in Hong Kong's legislature, resulting in at least one pro-democracy lawmaker being removed from the chamber as tensions escalated over debate of a bill that would make disrespecting China's national anthem a criminal offense.
Pro-democracy lawmaker Eddie Chu, right, holds a placard reading "Best Chairperson, Starry Lee” as he stands outside the chamber of Legislative Council Complex after he was ejected minutes after a second-day legislative debate in Hong Kong Thursday, May 28, 2020. Chu was ejected from the legislative chamber, disrupting the start of the debate on a contentious bill that would criminalize insulting or abusing the Chinese national anthem.
The legislature’s president, Andrew Leung, suspended the meeting minutes after it began and ejected lawmaker Eddie Chu for holding up a sarcastic placard that read “Best Chairperson, Starry Lee.” Chu was carried out by security guards, even as fellow pro-democracy lawmakers protested his removal and tried to stop it. Outside the chamber, he said Leung had objected to his placard Wednesday that called Lee an “illegal chairperson” and so he made a new one that called her the best chairperson instead.
