Hong Kongs pro-democracy protesters will this evening mark a month since police used tear gas in a failed attempt to disperse them, as leaders debate whether to reopen discussions with the government.
Protesters are urged to turn up wearing goggles, face masks and yellow umbrellas to mark a moment of silence at 5:57 p.m. local time, when police shot the first of 87 tear-gas cannisters in the Admiralty district on Sept. 28, according to a posting on the Facebook page of Occupy Central with Love and Peace, one of the movements leading groups.
Protesters are debating their next move after a vote on the movements direction was shelved over the weekend. Talks between the government and student leaders on Oct. 21 failed to yield an immediate solution, with the citys No. 2 official offering to send China a report reflecting the demands of the demonstrators.
We are now entering the second half of this movement, Joshua Wong, leader of another student-protest faction, Scholarism, said last night. Only when we know details of the report, will we have a chance for a compromise.
Chinas decision on Aug. 31 to vet candidates for the citys 2017 leadership election through a nominating committee sparked the demonstrations, as the protesters say the ruling favors pro-Beijing candidates.
