Hong Kong lawmakers defy ban as standoff over oaths drags on

After Yau Wai-ching and Sixtus Leung of the Youngspiration party entered the Legislative Council's main chamber, surrounded by other lawmakers and dozens of journalists, the body's president ordered them to leave, but the two refused.

The legislature's president has barred Yau and Leung from taking their oaths until a court rules next month on a legal challenge filed by Hong Kong's government, which wants to stop them from taking office.
