For months, the pro-democracy movement has been preoccupied with a very pressing conundrum involving a very different kind of movement. Hundreds – perhaps thousands – of activists are preparing to take part in the first Occupy Central protest. They are set to remain in the city’s central business district for hours or days on end, but how will they be expected to relieve themselves?
The police have previously indicated that protesters may be ‘kettled‘ or penned into areas where they may be allowed to leave, but not return. Only two public toilets are available near the Chater Road protest area and Tai previously stated that only 40 mobile toilets had been ordered for the protest. As organisers are set to announce more details about the demonstration on Thursday morning, an unofficial video has emerged offering a DIY solution to those concerned about answering the call of nature whilst fighting for universal suffrage.
