HongKong airport on alert ahead of fresh wave of protests
HONG KONG - Hong Kong's Airport Authority said on Friday only departing passengers with travel documents will be allowed to enter the terminal as anti-government activists gear up for a three-day rally to raise awareness among tourists entering the city.
Reuters reported late on Thursday, citing sources, that Lau had been recalled in a move that suggests the government lacks confidence in the capacity of the current police leadership to manage the response to protests. Activists plan to converge on the airport on Friday afternoon, with more protests planned across the city at the weekend.
Signed by 17 of the city’s big property developers including Henderson Land Development, New World Development, and Sun Hung Kai Properties, it was the first official statement made by the group.
