Thursday, December 11, 2014 Admiralty Set to be Cleared Protesters were told to pack up and get out of Hong Kong’s central business district, Admiralty, by 9am today (local time). Some estimates place the number of police set to help bailiffs carry out the court order to clear the area to be in the neighborhood of 7,000. Hong Kong Police's Senior Superintendent Cheung Tak-Keung said: "We would like to appeal to those who are still illegally occupying the roads to consider to leave as soon as possible from now on. Police will take resolute action to against anyone who obstructs or violently charges the bailiffs for executing their duties.” Students were joined for one last sit-in by pan-democratic lawmakers, a move criticized by Hong Kong officials.
