Hundreds of investors in Lehman Brothers minibonds have staged another protest march, accusing the government of failing to help them recoup losses from the failure of the US bank last year. The protesters, waving banners and shouting slogans, gathered in Causeway Bay before marching to the Monetary Authority offices in Central. The organisers said more than 1,000 protesters took part. The group accused the government of being irresponsible for failing to push through a buy-back plan. They say banks cheated customers by using misleading sales tactics.
