They arrested a protest leader and removed blockades and tents erected in the area. Clashes between police and protesters at the site left some people injured. Other protesters continued to encircle the Prime Minister’s Offices. Protest leaders have kept up their criticism of the Prime Minister and police actions and called upon protesters to join an anti-government demonstration to be held on Wednesday.
