<p>A 43-year-old man in Hong Kong was arrested on the charges of sedition after he allegedly played a song, which was popular during the 2019 anti-government protests, outside the British consulate where locals had gathered to mourn Queen Elizabeth II’s death.</p>

<p>According to CNN, the man was playing “Glory to Hong Kong” opposite the diplomatic mission in Admiralty on Monday night.</p>

<p>The man, who is surnamed Pang, was granted bail following interrogation but will be required to report back to police in late November.</p>

<p>According to local media, Pang stood outside the consulate and played “Glory to Hong Kong”—the anthem of&nbsp;pro-democracy protests in 2019—on a harmonica while the crowd sang along. A video of the incident has also gone viral.</p>
