Occupy Central is a civil disobedience campaign advocated by Occupy Central with Love and Peace(OCLP). In the course of the 2014 Hong Kong electoral reform, OCLP intends to pressure the PRC Government into granting an electoral system which satisfy the international standards in relation to universal suffrage in Hong Kong Chief Executive election in 2017 as promised according to the Hong Kong Basic Law Article 45. Should such an electoral system be not achieved, OCLP sought to fight for an equal suffrage in Hong Kong though illegal means, namely the occupation of Central, which OCLP vowed to be non-violent. The yellow ribbon represents universal suffrage. It also symbolizes democracy and became popular after people saw police firing tear gas to peaceful students and protesters in the Umbrella Revolution in 2014.
