Security personnel at Hong Kong's Polytechnic University have almost cleared the campus of the presence of pro-democracy protesters who used the institution as a launch pad for their agitation against the city’s administration
HONG KONG - Hong Kong police said they would enter Polytechnic University on Thursday after a two-week siege drove most protesters out, but just before midnight, a masked man emerged and asked them to halt their plan.
Earlier in the day, District Commander Ho Yun-sing said police planned to enter the campus to “process dangerous items and collect evidence” and that any remaining protesters would be given medical treatment. Demonstrators are angry at what they see as Beijing’s meddling in the freedoms promised to the former British colony when it returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
The number of protesters inside had dwindled dramatically, with some managing to flee and others brought out in what rescuers said was vulnerable state. But a “Thanksgiving” protest, in appreciation of the U.S Congress passing legislation supporting protesters, is scheduled for Thursday, the date of the U.S. holiday, and others were planned for the weekend, including against the use of tear gas.
