HONG KONG (AFP) - More than a thousand people protested outside a Dolce and Gabbana store in Hong Kong on Sunday after the Italian clothing store allegedly prevented people from taking photographs of its shop front.
The protest followed reports that a Dolce and Gabbana security guard had stopped a photographer taking pictures of its shopfront from the pavement outside.
More than 13,000 people had protested over the incident on Facebook.
People gathered on Sunday outside the fashion brand's flagship Hong Kong store taking photos while some carried placards denouncing the store's actions.
