A statue holding a yellow umbrella set up by students stands outside government headquarters in Hong Kong, Oct. 5th, 2014. In an apparent concession to authorities, students occupying the area outside city government headquarters agreed to remove some barricades that have blocked the building’s entrance during the weeklong demonstrations. It was not immediately clear how significant the move was and how much it would defuse the standoff, with many protesters vowing to stay in the area. |
