Police interview members of Hong Kong Rugby Union over national anthem blunders at overseas sports events

Police interviewed members of the Hong Kong Rugby Union on Monday and seized records of the body’s communications as part of an investigation into a series of mix-ups at overseas sporting events involving China’s national anthem.

A police spokesman said the inquiry would cover three separate incidents where the protest song “Glory to Hong Kong”, which originated during the anti-government demonstrations in 2019, was either played or identified as the city’s national anthem instead of “March of the Volunteers”.
