More than 100 people, mostly women wearing facemasks, surrounded the headquarters of the Apple Daily newspaper in the night to Tuesday in an ongoing effort to stop the newspaper’s operations.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
The protesters said they wanted to voice their anger against what they regard as the newspaper’s favourable coverage of the Occupy movement.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
The High Court issued a court order in the early hours of Tuesday, which called on the group to clear the newspaper office’s entrances.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
The night to Tuesday marked the third consecutive night the group camped out at the Tseung Kwan O site.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Police officers formed a human chain to separate protesters from Apple Daily staff. It appears that not arrests have been made.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
The group of mostly women continued to block the main gate until dawn. Delivery trucks could not enter the premises.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
A Nathan Road newsstand owner surnamed Yuen, who runs his business near Occupy Mong Kok, said Tuesday was the second day the delivery of Apply Daily had been delayed. <\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
As of 6.45am on Tuesday, he has yet to receive the newspaper. Usually, he receives the Apple Daily around 2am. Mr Tam, who runs a news stall on Shantung Street, said he received only ten copies of the Apple Daily through a distributor, but the paper was missing the sport and the business section. He also received 75 copies of the paper’s entertainment and supplementary section, which have been delivered separately. <\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
“How can I sell the paper without its front-page?” said Tam. “Many customers want to buy Apple Daily, but I have to reserve the few copies to some close customers.”<\/div>
