HK protesters brace for clearance after injunction published

AKIPRESS.COM - Hong Kong's protesters are bracing for the clearance of parts of their main occupation camp, after an injunction paved the way for officials to move in, reports BBC.

On Tuesday, a High Court ruling that ordered the clearance of three parts of the Admiralty protest camp was published in local papers.

A lawyer for the firm behind the ruling said protesters should leave the area before 09:00 (01:00 GMT) on Thursday.

The pro-democracy protesters want Beijing to agree to electoral reform.

The injunction against the main site - near government buildings - was secured by bus company All China Express Ltd on 1 December. It said the ongoing protests were disrupting its business.
