Arrest of HK protesters sought

Transport groups want main roads cleared as court ordered earlier

Transport associations in Hong Kong say they will seek arrest warrants against protesters on Friday, as they seek to put teeth into a High Court order to clear roads as the protesters continued to defy decrees for a third day.

The High Court warned that ongoing and illegal occupations verged on civil disorder and were posing a danger to lives, safety, health and property as well being out of proportion to freedoms guaranteed under the law.
