The High Court of Hong Kong late on Monday granted an interim injunction to bar protesters from continuing to occupy the section between Tim Mei Avenue and Lung Wui Road.

The application was filed by proprietors of the CITIC Tower, who complained that blocked roads have affected operations of emergency vehicles and threatened their safety.

The injunction is the second of its kind granted by the High Court on Monday. The first injunction, applied by groups of minibus and taxi operators, forbid the demonstrators from occupying the section of Nathan Road between Argyle Street and Dundas Street in Mongkok, and from putting up barricades there to block traffic.

The first injunction is due to expire on Friday morning.
