Police surround Hong Kong legislature before anthem debate

Police massed outside Hong Kong's legislature complex Wednesday before lawmakers debate a bill that would criminalize abuse of the Chinese national anthem in the semi-autonomous city. Protest calls went out Tuesday night, urging people to surround the legislature buildings and block roads in an attempt to derail the proceedings, but they didn't materialize. The bill makes it illegal to insult or abuse the “March of the Volunteers.”
