Hong Kong protesters issue demands, begin leaving university

Many of the protesters who had barricaded themselves in a Hong Kong university this week began to leave Friday after temporarily clearing a road they had blocked and demanding that the government commit to going ahead with local elections on Nov. 24.

In the morning, the protesters cleared one lane in each direction on Tolo Highway and gave the government 24 hours to agree to their demand. After the deadline expired, they blocked the road again.“In the face of the inconvenience we have caused to the elderly and other young people, we have decided to take the initiative to show our goodwill,” one masked protester said before the lanes were cleared. “We would like to reiterate that our target is the government.

Patrick Nip, the secretary for constitutional affairs, said the government hasn’t changed its decision to hold the vote.“We are all worried as to whether the election can be held in a safe manner,” he said at a news conference. “If we want to hold an orderly election it takes the whole society to chip in so we can lower the risk.”

In London, the Chinese Embassy said that Hong Kong Justice Secretary Teresa Cheng was pushed to the ground by activists who were following her and shouting at her, injuring her hand. It wasn’t clear if she was pushed or fell in the confrontation. Asked about the incident, Metropolitan Police in London said they are investigating an allegation of assault of a woman who was taken to the hospital with an arm injury.
