Occupy Central
Occupy Central is a civil disobedience movement which began in Hong Kong on September 28, 2014. It calls on thousands of protesters to block roads and paralyse Hong Kong's financial district if the Beijing and Hong Kong governments do not agree to implement universal suffrage for the chief executive election in 2017 and the Legislative Council elections in 2020 according to "international standards." The movement was initiated by Benny Tai Yiu-ting (戴耀廷), an associate professor of law at the University of Hong Kong, in January 2013.
Umbrella Movement
The Umbrella Movement (Chinese: 雨傘運動; pinyin: yǔsǎn yùndòng) is a loose political movement that was created spontaneously during the Hong Kong protests of 2014. Its name derives from the recognition of the umbrella as a symbol of defiance and resistance against the Hong Kong government, and the united grass-roots objection to the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) of 31 August.
The movement consists of individuals numbering in the tens of thousands who participated in the protests that began on 28 September 2014, although Scholarism, the Hong Kong Federation of Students, Occupy Central with Love and Peace, groups are principally driving the demands for the rescission of the NPCSC decision.

Supporters of Occupy on police visit list
Police phoned 11 prominent Occupy movement supporters yesterday to remind them of "arrest appointments."
Those sessions could lead to charges of joining an unauthorized assembly, and convictions could mean prison.
Among those called were Democratic Party chairwoman Emily Lau Wai-hing, former chairmen Martin Lee Chu-ming and Albert Ho Chun-yan, and party member Helena Wong Pik-wan.
Also contacted were Civic Party chairwoman Audrey Eu Yuet-mee, Labour Party vice chairman Fernando Cheung Chiu-hung and legislators Frederick Fung Kin-kee though he denied taking a call Charles Peter Mok and Ip Kin-yuen.
The other two were League of Social Democrats member Tsang King-shing and Defense of Hong Kong Freedom member James Hon Lin-shan.
Two surprise omissions from the call- up list were Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze- Kiun and Cantonese pop singer Denise Ho Wan-See, though both face action.
Lau said she will report to Wan Chai police headquarters on March 12 as she is leaving Hong Kong this weekend for a legislators' visit to Germany.
The other Democratic Party members will report to the police on Monday.
