Hong Kong workers apply glue to pavement outside Legco ahead of senior Chinese official’s visit

Government workers were busy on Friday applying glue to the pavement opposite Hong Kongs Legislative Council compound, a move seen as part of efforts to step up security for state leader Zhang Dejiangs visit this month.The government employed the same tactic in Wan Chai in 2005, when the city hosted the World Trade Organisation summit, to prevent protesters, mostly South Korean farmers, from digging up bricks to throw at police.During the Mong Kok riot in February, protesters dug up 2,000 bricks from pavements to attack police with.Chan Siu Kam has more.
