Along with the announcement of the upgraded action, HKFS and Scholarism called on protesters to collect their belongings and move towards Tim Mei Road to surround the SAR government headquarters. HKFS and Scholarism expected the night of November 30 to be a “long night”, but emphasized that the struggle would be carried out in a non-violent manner.

After the announcement was made, many protesters immediately set off, heading towards the Hong Kong government building on Tim Mei Road.

A day earlier, HKFS and Scholarism announced that they would hold a "Gala aimed at the government, fighting for democracy" at "Umbrella Square" in Admiralty on the evening of November 30.

They also called on people to bring protective equipment such as masks, goggles, umbrellas and helmets to protect personal safety when participating in the "citizens resisting orders" movement or any other action./.

Meanwhile, to guard against the possibility of an unexpected situation on the night of November 30, Hong Kong police (China) mobilized 7,000 officers on duty at Admiralty and Mong Kok.

According to the Oriental Daily, Hong Kong police have deployed more than 1,000 additional officers to Admiralty, bringing the total number of officers deployed there to 4,500. In addition, in the Mong Kok area, due to the unstable situation, the police have deployed about 2,500 officers.

However, when night falls, depending on the situation, the police will flexibly mobilize forces for these two areas.

As of the morning of December 1, police will initially maintain 4,500 officers in Admiralty and 2,500 officers in Mong Kok, but as on the night of November 30, the specific force will be decided based on the actual situation./.
