In the Legislative Council, Starry Lee, the pro-Beijing chairperson of the House Committee, expelled the pro-demoracy lawmakers who displayed placards and shouted "Lest we forget 612" from the chamber.
Today is one year after June 12, 2019, where citizens protested outside the Legislative Council to oppose the second reading of the Extradition Bill and were later suppressed by violent police operation.
On the same day one year after, the government gazetted the equally controversial Anthem Law and Beijing has passed plans to impose the even more draconian National Security Law.

Safeguard the dignity of the national anthem is what Hong Kong should do. She also said that with the official enactment of the "National Anthem Ordinance" coming into effect marks the Special Administrative Region's fulfillment of its constitutional responsibilities, embodying the spirit of "One country, Two systems".

HK Government Requires All Radio Stations to Play PRC's National Anthem Everyday
Radio Television Hong Kong (#RTHK) confirmed that their seven channels would air the national anthem of the People’s Republic of China, “March of the Volunteers”, every day before the morning news report at 8am.
On November 7, 2020, Commercial Radio Hong Kong confirmed that they will also broadcast PRC's national anthem before their 8am news everyday starting from mid-November.
Metro Broadcast Corporation also revealed that their tentative plan was to play the PRC's national anthem before the 8am newscast, but the date of enforcement was not yet set.
The Hong Kong government spokesman replied to Stand News' inquiry that licensed broadcasters have to play the national anthem under the government’s “announcement in the public interest” (API) mechanism after the National Anthem Law was enacted in Hong Kong in June 2020.
