A Government spokesman strongly condemned the protesters outside the Chief Executive's Office for obstructing the Police in delivering food and water to police officers stationed in the Central Government Offices early this morning (October 3).
The protesters have occupied roads, obstructed the entrances and exits of government buildings, stopped police officers from changing shifts and denied them food and water supply. These are serious illegal acts and are unreasonable and inhumane actions.
Last night, an ambulance even had to be checked by protesters before being allowed to enter the Chief Executive's Office.
There are sources saying that the protesters outside the Chief Executive's Office are not following instructions or appeals by the Hong Kong Federation of Students, Scholarism or organisers of the "Occupy Central" movement, but are being directed by radical social activists. The Government spokesman issued a stern warning to the protesters and other relevant persons, whether they are acting on their own initiative or not, that they should stop the above-mentioned behaviour immediately, or else the Police will take appropriate force to stop them as and when necessary.
