Hong Kong authorities have started clearing barricades from a protest camp across a busy highway as part of a final push to retake streets occupied by activists for two and a half months.
After protesters ignored a deadline to disperse, police announced a “lockdown” of the area, saying anyone who remained at the site faced arrest.
The workers removing the barricades were carrying out a court restraining order calling for barriers to be dismantled and obstructions removed from three sections of the protest site.
