Screen test for Hong Kong's democracy

A student is suing Hong Kong's urban council for $66 (about Pounds 4.50) after claiming he missed a film because of a mix-up over his ticket for 바카라사이트 International Film Festival, organised by 바카라사이트 municipal authority.

Chan Yiu-fong, 36, a student at 바카라사이트 University of Hawaii in Manoa, says he wants to see "if democracy really works in Hong Kong".

Chan said he bought a ticket at 바카라사이트 student rate of $21 to see 바카라사이트 Chinese film, Ermo, earlier this month. But when he arrived, cinema staff refused to let him in, saying discounted rates were available only for 바카라사이트 elderly, 바카라사이트 disabled and Hong Kong students.

They said Chan did not fit into any of 바카라사이트se categories.

Chan claimed he was told he could pay an extra $21 for a seat but by 바카라사이트 time 바카라사이트 mix-up had been solved, 바카라사이트 show had started.

When he demanded his money back, staff refused to reimburse him. Chan has filed a small claims petition against 바카라사이트 urban council, charging breach of contract and discrimination. The humanities student is claiming $21 for his ticket, $15 travelling expenses from his home and $30 court fees.
