Hong Kong protest over 'breast as weapon' conviction
Dozens of bra-wearing men and women have protested in Hong Kong after a woman was jailed for assaulting a senior policeman with her breast.
Ng Lai-ying, 30, had accused Chief Inspector Chan Ka-po of touching her breast during a protest in March.
But the court had ruled against her, saying she deliberately pushed her breast against him so she could accuse him of assault.
She was sentenced on Thursday to three months and 15 days in prison.
About 200 people joined the Breast Walk protest outside police headquarters in Wan Chai on Sunday - either wearing exposed bras or waving them - saying that a breast was "not a weapon".
