The latest symbol of protest in Hong Kong is the bra.
Dozens of angry protesters on Sunday took to the street in a demonstration that they say is absurd and a sexist ruling.More photos after the cut.
A female protester was sentenced to three and a half months in prison for assaulting a Police officer with "her breast."
Ng Lai-ying's chest bumped the right arm of policeman Chan Ka-Po during a crowded protest against mainland Chinese border traders in March.
Amateur footage from the chaotic incident cited by local news reports shows the 30-year-old woman falling to the ground during an interaction with police officers. It's unclear what happens next, but when she reemerges her face was bleeding.
During her trial, Ng pleaded not guilty, saying she cried "indecent assault" when the police officer's hand landed on her breast, according to the South China Morning Post.
But a local magistrate rejected the claim and accused her of lying.
"You used your female identity to trump up the allegation that the officer had molested you. This is a malicious act," said deputy magistrate Chan Pik-kiu, adding Ng had harmed the officer's reputation with her accusation.
