anyway i think the real drama only started after the march actually ended. the march organizer asked the protesters to stay at government headquaters but later this decision was overthrown without much reason by Martin Lee & crew.
Cleaners are very efficient in clearing the demonstration signs left by the demonstrator. After a couple hours, the whole place is clear of ribbons, stickers, banners & placard as if the march didn't happen.
After some time, the government gate was closed & only allow people to leave. (no more entry) The only public toilet is outside government headquarter. Long Hair lead a group of about 30 demonstrators to toilet. Before they go, one government official (Yuen Yiu Man) promised the demonstrators can come back. Yet Mr. Yuen clearly swallowed his words in 3 seconds that he refused to let the toilet-goer get back inside.
Reporters surrounded the gate. Demontrators outside start yelling & shake the gate. several of them climb inside with the help of others.

At midnite some other demonstrators turn up with water to support. But the security guards won't let them in. They force the gate open & a security guard hit a demonstrtor's hand with walkie talkie in the chaos.

Around 2am. Police spokesman announcing warning. They'll clear the ground after 3 warning.
I got carried down by female police. They are not strong enough (...) & have to put me down. Demonstrators walk out or being carried down one by one.

After that I was too tired & went home. That was about 4am.
