Protesters end highway occupation outside Hong Kong’s parliament: AFP
HONG KONG, June 17, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Anti-government protesters in Hong
Kong ended their occupation of a major highway outside parliament Monday
morning, allowing traffic to flow again, an AFP reporter at the scene said.
Police had spent the morning pleading with a few hundred holdouts to clear
the usually busy road and the group eventually relented without any
confrontation. Most of the remaining demonstrators moved to a nearby park.
