Over the last 6 months the Tin Mei Avenue protest site has grown and evolved, there’s a kids area, library, art area, recycling, church, art installations, solar power to provide electricity… Tomorrow or so the rumour goes the police will look to clear the tents and everything else under the premise that the goods have been abandoned by their owners. An interesting skirt around the law, which has taken the government lawyers six months come up. Some of the tents do look pretty manky, but others are very well cared for and obviously inhabited by protestors.

The earlier ‘clearances’ were carried out backed by questionable court injunctions and the police displayed an obvious relish in destroying peoples property – sometimes without even checking if a tent was empty. So a question for our lawyer readers, do the police have a duty to exercise care and attention when removing ‘property they claim is abandoned’ or can they just destroy and damage it with impunity? Guess we’ll find out.
