Hong Kong Bar Owners Stage ‘Hunger Strike’ to Protest Virus Closures
7 Apr 2021
Bar owners in Hong Kong staged a symbolic hunger strike on Monday to protest the city government’s ongoing coronavirus restrictions, which have forced bars to remain closed while allowing other businesses, such as restaurants, to reopen.
“People are queueing for beaches … restaurants are full, but only we are in pain and barred from opening,” Leung Lap-yan, founding president of Hong Kong’s Licensed Bar and Club Association, told reporters on April 5. Leung gathered with other bar, karaoke, and mahjong (Chinese tile game) parlor owners on April 4 in front of the Hong Kong government headquarters to launch a four-day protest of continued bar closures. Participants will refuse meals in shifts as part of a symbolic hunger strike.
