HK protesters dealt legal setback as court issues injunctions
HONG KONG — Hong Kong’s High Court ordered pro-democracy protesters in the violence-hit Mong Kok district to leave the area, granting injunctions in two cases against the demonstrators, who had spent the past four weeks disrupting daily life in the Asian financial capital.
The injunctions were handed down the night before televised talks are scheduled to be held between the government and protest camps.
Hopes of easing the worst political crisis in Hong Kong since Britain handed the free-wheeling city back to China in 1997 rest on the talks scheduled for today, but few are expecting any resolution, given that the two sides are poles apart on how the city will elect its next leader in 2017.
The two injunctions were granted at about 6.45pm to the Taxi Association and the Taxi Drivers and Operators Association in one case and to the Chiu Luen Public Light Bus Company in the other. The orders are effective immediately, said reports in the South China Morning Post and China’s official Xinhua news agency.
At about 8.15pm, the High Court also issued an injunction against protesters at the main protest site of Admiralty, ordering them to clear fire exits, emergency vehicle exits and the entrance to the car park of Citic Tower, adjacent to the government headquarters.
The applicant for the injunction, the owner of Citic Tower, said the protests had been “severely affecting the operations of commercial and retail business within the property” and putting tenants at risk.
