HONG KONG - A Hong Kong protest anthem was removed by a UK digital music distributor from streaming platforms on Friday following a court injunction in the Chinese territory, the music creators said, as judges warned that dissidents could use the song against the state.

"Glory to Hong Kong" was written in 2019 during widespread pro-democracy protests, becoming an unofficial alternative anthem to China's"March of the Volunteers." Hong Kong has no official anthem. YouTube, part of Mountain View-based Alphabet in California, has geoblocked banned videos for viewers in Hong Kong since mid-May.
