Admiralty Calm, Demosisto Issues Public Appeal

Several members of Demosisto on Friday staged a protest at Mei Foo MTR Station, calling on the public to join an anti-extradition rally planned for Sunday, as an uneasy calm returned to areas of Admiralty around the government's headquarters.

Demosisto protesters knelt down at the station, shouting slogans and holding placards that read “boycott class, labour strike, save Hong Kong”.

From the group's live broadcast on social media, some members of the public could been seen cheering them on, while others criticised them for disrupting their journey to work.

Meanwhile the areas around Legco and the government's headquarters were calm on Friday morning, but Tim Mei Avenue and Tim Wa Avenue remained closed.

The number of police officers on the scene had decreased, but there were still some officers equipped with helmets. They continued checking ID cards of people who were using a pedestrian bridge near Citic Tower.

About 20 people appeared again on Friday morning on the pedestrian bridge, singing hymns. Some people also held up placards which said "protect students".
