Materials such as a timeline display and political cartoons relating to the protests were posted at the stalls.

A pro-democracy group has been ordered to close its stalls at the government-run Lunar New Year market in Hong Kong after they were deemed political and in breach of their lease.

Hong Kong to allow only flower and food stalls at Lunar New Year fairsWarning notices were pinned at the stalls suggesting the league had violated the lease terms at the market, which only allows the selling of flowers and food, while specifically banning dry goods. However, the league argued they did not have a chance to rebut the department’s assertions, and asked officials to explain their decision publicly.

“We are a flower booth as well as an exhibition. There should not be any contradictions. I am ready to face any legal consequences.”
