Anti-'Occupy' movement goes online

Hong Kong residents working or studying outside the special administrative region can join the countermovement to "Occupy Central" and take a stand for peace in Hong Kong on Saturday, when an online petition platform will open to the public.
Organizers of the "Occupy" movement are planning a massive rally in Hong Kong's Central district - an action the government has already declared illegal - to paralyze the heart of the city and coerce the central and the special administrative region's governments into accepting their demands for political reform.
It is feared that the activity, which could spark violence, would deal a severe blow to the local economy and ultimately squander the chance of realizing universal suffrage in the SAR.
