HONG KONG. — Some protesters decided yesterday to withdraw from areas in Hong Kong as a good gesture for talks with the authorities, while secondary schools affected by the Occupy Central demonstration would resume classes on Monday.
Demonstrators outside the Chief Executive’s Office (CEO) in Admiralty said they would leave the streets near the government headquarters on their own volition.
“Some citizens have a negative view on the days of protest. It’s time for us to leave,” said a student.
Some protesters in Mong Kok, a commercial area in Kowloon where 19 were arrested after pro- and anti-Occupy people clashed on Friday, also left and joined the rally in Admiralty.
They apologised for the disruption of life and businesses caused by their protests.
Traffic in Lung Wo Road temporarily resumed last night after demonstrators removed barricades and shook hands with police officers. — Xinhua.
