Dozens of tents remain on Tim Mei Avenue next to the Legislative Council in Hong Kong, June 21, 2015.<\/div>

Authorities in Hong Kong handed an eviction notice to a group of die-hard Umbrella Movement protesters on Monday, following the defeat of a Beijing-backed political reform plan at the hands of pan-democratic lawmakers, who dismissed it as “fake universal suffrage.”<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Some of the protesters have been camped outside the city’s Legislative Council (LegCo) on Tim Mei Avenue since the start of the 79-day Occupy Central mass civil disobedience movement last year.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
The deadline was announced formally in notices nailed up at the site by Hong Kong’s Lands Department, but some residents say they won’t leave until the city has a system of “genuine universal suffrage” agreed.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
A protester surnamed Mok said he is preparing to stay in the spirit of Sept. 28, when thousands of student-led protesters armed with goggles and umbrellas faced off with ranks of riot police firing tear gas and pepper spray at the crowd.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“I have been here more than 200 days in total,” Mok told RFA on Monday. “Today is the 267th day, beginning on Sept. 28.”<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“[I am here] to overturn fake universal suffrage, but we still have a long way to go in the fight for a fair public nomination system and the right to stand as a candidate,” he said.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“Injustices are still taking place, and the liars are still telling their lies on TV,” he said. “I think we still need some form of symbolic action here.”<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
He said more than 20 people had remained outside LegCo since the broader Occupy movement shut up shop.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“We won’t put up any resistance when they clear us out,” Mok said. “But some of us will come back again after they’re done with the clearance of this street.”<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Pan-democratic LegCo member Fernando Cheung said he felt the clearance of the tent village was a shame.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“I think it’s a shame, because it is an expression of public opinion, and it doesn’t cause a lot of inconvenience to the general public here on Tim Mei Avenue,” Cheung said.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“If they’re not causing an obstruction to anyone, they should be allowed to continue expressing their views here.”<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“I don’t think it’s reasonable for the police to clear them away,” he added.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Cheung called on Hong Kong people to come out in support of genuine universal suffrage again during the traditional July 1 protest marking the 18th anniversary of the handover from British rule.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“I hope to see even more citizens demonstrating on July 1 … and I think that civil society groups will continue to call on people to come out and express their views,” he said.<\/div>
