Huge fires at Hong Kong campus as police move in on pro-democracy protesters

Police declared the campus a"riot" scene - a rioting conviction carries up to 10 years in jail - and blocked exits as spokesman Louis Lau issued a stark warning in a Facebook live broadcast.

Protestors use an improvised slingshot as blue-dyed liquid is sprayed from an armored police vehicle during a confrontation at Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityThree protesters have been shot by police in the unrelenting months of protests, but all in scuffles as chaotic street clashes played out - and without a sweeping warning being given by a force which overwhelmingly depends on tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets.

Owen Li, a PolyU council member and student, said"panic" had taken hold of the estimated few hundred protesters who remained.Choreographed clean-up by Chinese soldiers divides Hong Kong opinionDemonstrators last week engineered a"Blossom Everywhere" campaign of blockades and vandalism, which forced the police to draft in prison officers as reinforcements, shut down large chunks of Hong Kong's transport network and closed schools and shopping malls.

bryan_tam_1013 Helping Hong Kong is also helping the United States itself. I hope that the United States will help Hong Kong quickly.

The siege of PolyU by HKpolice is a brutal, violence and cruel crimes. They refuse supply of food, water and medical supplies, fire tear gas and brutal attacks the protesters who try to evacuate! SOSPolyU

Given the humanitarian crisis escalating in the PolyUHK, we are calling for western democracies to rescue the besieged students.

It's getting harder and harder to tell if the photo is from Tiananmen or PolyU. The besiege, the reluctance to let press in and the warning of live rounds all point to a massacre. The US has taken the lead to sanction CCP ans deter bloodshed, I think Australia can follow suit.

Tiananmen2019 is happening in Hong Kong. The protesters are stuck inside the campus because the police has blocked all the entrances and roads heading to the university. There is a chance the protesters may all be arrested, or worse. Please help them and spread the news out!

'First step': Appearance of Chinese soldiers on Hong Kong streets raises fearsChinese troops have emerged from a Hong Kong barracks to remove protester barricades in a rare appearance on the city's streets that has spooked democracy activists and was slammed as potentially violating the law. KirstyLNeedham That location looks like the Chinese consulate in Camperdown. The Chinese government is dangerous and secretive. KirstyLNeedham The PLA soldiers as filmed by many were only helping to clean up the mess caused by the mobs, who have proven themselves to be proxy war tools against the people of Hong Kong, after beating and killing people, and destroying properties there. KirstyLNeedham How is it easier to deploy troops (violating 1 Country 2 Systems) than return Universal Suffrage to the HK?
