Defying the rains, protesters gathered outside Commercial Radio's offices in Hong Kong early in the morning to demand an explanation as to why host Li Wei-ling, who had been critical of the government, was fired.
Li's sacking came less than three months after she was bumped off the prime-time breakfast slot On A Clear Day and asked to move back to the less prominent Tipping Point programme which she had joined early in her career with the company.
9am: Around 20 members of the NeoDemocrats and League in Defence of Hong Kong's Freedoms demonstrated from 9am to 9.45am.
They passed a letter through the gates to Commercial Radio chief executive Stephen Chan Chi-wan, who was blamed for Li's demotion and sacking.
Chan went back to the office and refused to speak to the press.
10.00am: The protesters insisted the decision to sack Li was political.
Retired teacher James Hon Lin-shan, a core member of the League in Defence, said: "All Hong Kong people can see that actions against Li Wei-ling were political.
