Tens of thousands of people were gathered in the streets of Hong Kong demanding more political freedoms.

The leaders of the movement threatened to expand their protests, if government did not meet their demands until Wednesday.

During the night there were no clashed between demonstrators and police.

The head of Hong Kong government called Occupy Central movement to put an end to the demonstrations which have caused problems to the smooth operation of the financial center.

“Occupy Central founders had said repeatedly that if the movement is getting out of control, they would call for it to stop,” Mr Leung said.

“I’m now asking them to fulfil the promise they made to society and stop this campaign immediately.”

Occupy Central is a civil disobedience movement, initiated by Benny Tai Yiu-ting, an associate professor of law at the University of Hong Kong.

This movement is behind the last two days of street protests managing to gather about 80,000 people in the city’s center and blocking major roads.
