Hong Kong opposition politicians of The League of Social Democrats staged a rally outside of HSBC Holdings Plc to protest a decision by the bank to close accounts of the group and demand an explanation from the lender.
A group of five activists gathered in front of one of the iconic lion statues that stand guard at HSBC’s main offices in the city’s Central business district. They spoke to an assembled press, with police closely watching, and held signs saying the bank cared only about making money and was abetting the tyrant.
