Online Edition
HONG Kong authorities on Thursday morning started clearing barriers blocking main roads and streets at Occupy sites in Admiralty after bailiffs read out court 's injunction orders to protesters.
The bailiffs declared that they would remove barriers in Connaught Road Central, Harcourt Road, Tim Wa Avenue, Tim Mei Avenue and Gloucester Road, asking the protesters to leave the Occupy area peacefully and not to impede law enforcement.
The bailiffs said the police force would help execute the court ' s injunction orders if the protesters obstruct the law enforcement.A senior police officer warned that the authorities have prepared adequate manpower and would take resolute actions to enforce court injunctions.
Some key figures of student groups and several members of Hong Kong's Legislative Council who refused to leave stayed at the Occupy sites in Admiralty, waiting for being taken away by the police.
The Occupy protest in Hong Kong started on September 28 and blockaded several main roads and streets in Kowloon and Hong Kong island, which has resulted in serious traffic disruption, less tourists, temporary closure of schools and banks and a slump in local stock market trading.
Hong Kong police assisted bailiffs in clearing the protest site at Mong Kok in Kowloon on November 25 and 26.
