Through the day on Sunday, protesters throughout Hong Kong debated if they should decamp and open up some of the areas of the city they have been blocking in a massive act of civil disobedience that has paralyzed the city for more than a week.
By Sunday night in Hong Kong, it appeared that pro-Democracy protesters were clearing from the Mong Kok area of town, one of Hong Kong's busiest and also where some of the most intense violence has happened the past few days. The South China Morning Post reports that protesters were also clearing part of Admiralty, the section of town that houses the offices of the chief executive.
As The New York Times sees it, the decampment may be enough to avoid a confrontation with police, which had a set a Monday morning deadline for the streets leading into the government complex to be open.
Because there are a lot of moving pieces, we'll keep this post updated throughout the day, so make sure to refresh to see the latest.
