A Government spokesman strongly condemned members of Demosist� for intruding into the East Wing of Central Government Offices (CGO) today (March 15) and causing a blockage in the lobby, despite advice and warnings issued by security personnel at the scene. A female security guard was injured and admitted into hospital as a result.
"The Government respects the rights of the public to express their views, but the effective, secure and smooth operation of the CGO should be safeguarded at the same time. As the headquarters of the Government and working place of government officials, the CGO has never been part of the area designated for public meetings or processions," the spokesman said.
Regrettably, some members from Demosist� forcibly intruded into the CGO East Wing causing a blockage despite the advice and warnings issued by security personnel at the scene, resulting in a female security guard being injured.
Administration Wing staff reported the above case to the Police, who took action to remove a total of nine protestors.
The Administration Wing also expressed regards to the security guard who was injured and wished her a speedy recovery.
