Hong Kong police: Go home or go to jail
Hong Kong police have begun arresting protesters who are refusing to leave the main protest camp, after more than two months of demonstrations.
The authorities had warned protesters to leave ahead of the operation at Admiralty camp, but some vowed to stay.
Many left as bailiffs began taking down barricades but police are now arresting dozens who have stayed behind.
The number of protesters had fallen to a few hundred, from the tens of thousands who turned out in September.
Police began building up their presence for what is being widely seen as the final act in the long-running protests at the Admiralty site during the early morning.
