11:15 和平佔領金鐘 Peaceful Occupy of Admiralty

自由呀!你的日子難道永遠不會來到? (和平示威 – 法國 路易絲米歇爾 1870)

網民團體發起今晨7時起「升級行動」,抗議特首林鄭月娥未回應團體提出有關反對修訂《逃犯條例》的所有訴求,大專學界提出包圍金鐘政府總部,但會和平進行;連登討論區等網民建議多項不合作運動,包括在立法會外「全民野餐」,舉行罷工,但未見共識。原則是不流血,不受傷,不被捕。

政府昨日宣布,基於保安考慮,政總今日暫停開放。

周四下午,立法議員張超雄和郭家麒率領一群父親和母親,在行政長官辦公室外抗議,並呼籲特首會見年青抗議者並回應他們的訴求。

「林鄭,不要射殺我們的孩子。」標語牌上寫道。

陷入困境的政府在幕後作戰,提高了內閣改組的可能性。雙方立法議員預計未來幾個月立法會將未能有效運作。

Groups urge supporters to disrupt city’s transport links, picnic outside government headquarters, or go on strike on Friday 21 June, after their 4 demands were ignored by Carrie Lam. The principles are no bloodshed, no injuries and no arrests.

Legislators Fernando Cheung and Kwok Ka-ki led a group of fathers and  mothers to protest outside the Chief Executive’s Office on Thursday afternoon, and called on the city’s leader to meet the young protesters and answer their demands.

“Carrie Lam, don’t shoot our kids,” their placards read.

Government notified civil servants that headquarters would be closed on Friday for security reasons.

Embattled administration fights behind the scenes, while possibility of a cabinet reshuffle has been raised. Legislators from both sides expect little to be achieved in the Legislative Council over the next few months.
