POST OCCUPY CENTRAL - DAY 84 (09-03-2015)







Occupy Central


Occupy Central

Occupy Central is a civil disobedience movement which began in Hong Kong on September 28, 2014. It calls on thousands of protesters to block roads and paralyse Hong Kong's financial district if the Beijing and Hong Kong governments do not agree to implement universal suffrage for the chief executive election in 2017 and the Legislative Council elections in 2020 according to "international standards." The movement was initiated by Benny Tai Yiu-ting (戴耀), an associate professor of law at the University of Hong Kong, in January 2013.



Umbrella Movement



The Umbrella Movement (Chinese: 雨傘運動; pinyin: yǔsǎn yùndòng) is a loose political movement that was created spontaneously during the Hong Kong protests of 2014. Its name derives from the recognition of the umbrella as a symbol of defiance and resistance against the Hong Kong government, and the united grass-roots objection to the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) of 31 August.

The movement consists of individuals numbering in the tens of thousands who participated in the protests that began on 28 September 2014, although Scholarism, the Hong Kong Federation of Students, Occupy Central with Love and Peace,  groups are principally driving the demands for the rescission of the NPCSC decision.

Hong Kong police issue warning to anti-parallel trade protesters planning to swarm Government House








The government has issued a warning after netizens called for another anti-parallel-trade protest at the Government House Open Day this Sunday.

An online discussion titled "let's all be smugglers and trade at the Government House" started earlier this week, with organisers suggesting participants pose as parallel traders and bring large quantities of daily goods, including milk powder, to the public event, reports RTHK.

Hong Kong Secretary of Security Lai Tung-Kwok expressed his concern during a media session yesterday, warning that “the police would take appropriate and resolute actions to safeguard public safety and maintain law and order”.

Officers are expected to deploy en masse to contain any situation on Sunday.

The online discussions come after a series of weekly anti-parallel trading protests, which have sparked much controversy and debate.

Six people have now been arrested in relation to last Sunday’s protests, which saw mainland shoppers verbally abused by angry anti-smuggling protesters.
