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 (戴耀廷), 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.

Liberal Party urges more action against protesters
The Liberal Party has staged a rally outside the Police Headquarters in Wan Chai, calling for more stringent action against possible anti-parallel protests in the coming weeks.
Liberal Party lawmaker, Vincent Fang Kang, said the police have been too lenient with the protesters who assaulted tourists and local residents under the guise of anti-parallel trading activities.
CUHK students union to ballot members
Members of the Chinese University's students union say the vote by their counterparts at Lingnan University to stay in the Federation of Students won't deter them from holding a similar referendum.
The Hong Kong University union quit the umbrella student body last month because of its undemocratic leadership during last year's Occupy democracy campaign.
Chinese University union member Lau Wing-hong told RTHK the Federation has since made no moves to change.
