Coronavirus threat prompts TMT opponents to pull back from Mauna Kea protest camp

After more than eight months of nonviolent protests at the base of the Mauna Kea Access Road, the opponents of the Thirty Meter Telescope are pulling out of their camp and telling their supporters to take shelter from the novel coronavirus.

Protest leader Andre Perez said Wednesday the large tents erected last year to serve as a warehouse, kitchen and instructional area at Puu Huluhulu have been removed, and supporters of the protests have been asked to leave.
