The group behind a 2019 protest song that's subject to a court injunction said on Friday evening that the distributor had now decided to remove it from all platforms.

On social media, the group behind "Glory to Hong Kong" said it has expressed opposition to the decision, saying it hoped to have the song reinstated as soon as possible.

The group said the song had been removed from iTunes and Apple Music in various regions.

The Court of Appeal earlier granted a government request for a temporary injunction against anyone playing or performing the song with seditious intent.

Video sharing platform YouTube, owned by Google's parent company Alphabet, has since restricted the viewing of 32 links related to the song in Hong Kong.
