Reuters, Hong Kong :Hong Kong on Tuesday cleared part of a protest camp in the heart of the city that has been occupied by pro-democracy demonstrators for nearly two months, leaving most of the main protest site intact.About 30 court bailiffs arrived at the 33-storey Citic Tower in Admiralty, next to government buildings, to enforce an injunction against street barricades after a request from the building’s owners, witnesses said.Authorities stood by as workers used cutters to remove barricades. Police and said the building’s owners had hired people to carry out the clearance.”We will proceed on the principle of peace and non-violence,” said Joshua Wong, head of Scholarism, one of two student groups leading the protests.”We are not looking for an argument with the police. If they clear the road outside the car park we will accept that. If they clear other areas it will be very disappointing.”Some protesters packed up pillows, blankets and other belongings from inside their tents and moved to another part of the demonstration zone.
