First Occupy site cleared
     2014-November-26  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    HONG KONG bailiffs tasked to enforce a court order against a key protest camp successfully tore down barricades at an intersection in Mong Kok yesterday, after a tense face-off with demonstrators.

    The 20-man “removal team” cleared the junction of Argyle Street and Nathan Road in just 45 minutes. They cut the plastic cordons, tape and strong adhesives that held the barricades in place, and confiscated wooden pallets, fencing and umbrellas.

    Later in the day, more than 30 people were arrested as scuffles broke out with police after bailiffs, the South China Morning Post reported.

    Shortly after 7 p.m., police officers fired tear spray from a pump on a raised platform at scores of protesters who remained gathered in Portland Street outside Langham Place.

    There were also reports of a few protesters getting pepper-sprayed.

    Police officers, wearing helmets and masks, were trying to disperse crowds of protesters. The police had earlier warned protesters to leave, saying they were taking part in an “unlawful assembly.”

    The High Court of Hong Kong granted a preliminary injunction to ban demonstrators from occupying roads in Mong Kok on Oct. 20 after groups of minibus and taxi operators filed for an injunction that would reopen the paralyzed roads.

    The high court extended the injunctions Oct. 27 and again extended them Nov. 10.
