Defiant HongKong protesters expected to go ahead with demonstrations despite police warnings
HONG KONG - Anti-government protests are expected to take place in Hong Kong on Saturday despite police warnings against them.
Police warned in a statement issued late on Friday night that"according to the Public Order Ordinance, it is not necessary to notify the police for conducting public meeting for religious purpose". The move resulted in the Umbrella movement that lasted 79 days, during which key roads in the city centre were occupied.
MTR also said trains will not stop at Sai Ying Pun station from 1.30pm on Saturday. China's Hong Kong liaison office is located near the station. Police have banned a planned rally in Tsim Sha Tsui on Monday that was to have coincided with the launch of the strike, saying it would severely endanger public safety.
