Hong Kong's Court of Appeal has rejected two nation-insulting legislators-elect's appeal and upheld a previous ruling which banned them from taking their seats. The court said Article 104 of Hong Kong's Basic Law lays down a constitutional requirement on sincere oath-taking by members of the Legislative Council.

The two legislators-elect, Leung Chung-hang and Yau Wai-ching, used derogatory language insulting the Chinese nation while misreading their oaths at a swearing-in ceremony on October 12. Yau also displayed a banner proclaiming "Hong Kong is not China."
