On the same morning, Lester Shum, Deputy Secretary General of the Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS), unexpectedly appeared in Mong Kok to learn about the street clearance activities there, and said he was prepared for the possibility of being arrested by the police.
At 10:16 a.m., the HKFS Facebook page reported that Sam Ngao Huy had been arrested along with the Secretary in charge of foreign affairs at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Tu Do Tu Lang.
Three minutes later, the source continued to report that Joshua Wong, founder of the Hong Kong student group "Learning for Democracy", was also arrested. This information was confirmed by HKFS Standing Committee Member Leung Leuk to Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK).
Since September 28, protesters have set up camps on many main streets in Hong Kong to demand more democracy for this semi-autonomous Chinese city.
The confrontation shows no sign of ending as neither the government nor the student-led protesters want to compromise./.
