Lawmaker accused of abusing his power

Some 600 protesters gathered in Hong Kong outside the city's Legislative Council Complex on Wednesday morning to condemn local lawmaker Albert Ho Chun-yan.

The protesters, including members of the "Defend Hong Kong Campaign", accused Ho of abusing his power as a lawmaker.

Ho has been providing assistance to the bookseller Lam Wing-kee, since Lam returned to the special administrative region after being detained for selling unauthorized publications on the mainland.
