OCCUPY CENTRAL - DAY 14: Full coverage of the day's events

Protest areas remained calm and peaceful on Saturday after Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement drew thousands of people on Friday night when organisers called for a "new wave" of civil disobedience. With a plan to stay for the long haul, organisers asked citizens to occupy "every inch of the streets" after officials cancelled a scheduled Friday dialogue to ease the political crisis on universal suffrage.

With the city's top leaders away from Hong Kong until Monday, student leaders issued an open letter to President Xi Jinping in which they stressed that the Occupy movement is not a "colour revolution".

Meanwhile a prominent student spokeswoman, Agnes Chow Ting, announced she would be stepping back from the spotlight, saying she was exhausted by the pro-democracy movement.

1.00am: Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying has recorded an interview with local television station TVB that will be broadcast on Sunday. 

We're going to pause our live coverage of the Occupy movement now, thanks for staying with us and tune in again at 8am for more breaking news as the protests enter their third week. 

12.35am: More on student leader Agnes Chow Ting, who resigned on Saturday from her role as spokeswoman for Scholarism, a key activist group representing secondary school students. In a statement Chow said she had been exhausted "physically and psychologically" by the pro-democracy campaign, and would take some time to consider her future role in the movement.
