Hong Kong protest crowds thin as both sides agree to talks
The crowds of protesters who filled Hong Kong’s streets thinned dramatically today after student leaders and the territory’s government agreed to hold talks to discuss protesters’ demands regarding electoral reforms.
Just a couple of days after tens of thousands of demonstrators filled the city’s streets, only a few dozen students – who have formed the core of the protest movement – remained on some stretches of occupied highway and traffic, once again disrupting traffic.
