HONG KONG -- Leticia Wong Man-huen, a district councilor in Hong Kong, had planned a small celebration with 50 supporters and staff to mark the completion of renovations of her office with the waning of the coronavirus pandemic.
But just before it was to start last Saturday, about a dozen police officers appeared in front of the office in northeastern Hong Kong. They demanded Wong take down a banner on the wall that bore the message, "Liberate Hong Kong. Revolution of our times."
