HONG KONG—Protesters blocked subway train doors on July 30 in their latest protest action to demand greater accountability from the Hong Kong government.

Service was delayed and partially suspended on the Island and Kwun Tong lines, subway operator MTR said. It cited “a number of train door obstructions” as well as someone activating a safety device at a platform on the Kwun Tong line.
