Occupy Central

A series of sit-in protests, known as the Umbrella Revolution or Occupy Movement, took place in Hong Kong from September 26 to December 15, 2014, in response to a decision by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress that restricted the electoral system of Hong Kong. The protests, which peaked at over 100,000 participants, were led by students and other members of the public, and were met with force by the police, including the use of tear gas and accusations of triad involvement. The protests ended on December 14, 2014, with no concessions from the government, but sparked widespread criticism of the police and judicial system, and an assault on civil liberties and academic freedoms.learn more on wikipedia
