Medics evacuate a protester as conditions at the university campus continue to deteriorate.
The epicentre of nearly six months of increasingly savage anti-China protests has shifted to the PolyU campus, a stone’s throw from the city’s harbour, where hardcore protesters have repelled riot police with Molotov cocktails, bricks and arrows. Protesters at PolyU said around 50 of their number remained after hundreds had fled deteriorating conditions and following official warnings that police may fire live rounds to clear the area.
“But … it’s very dangerous, because when you use the bow, the police must shoot you, with some unknown bullets. Maybe real bullets.” The UN human rights office was watching the university situation with “deepening concern”, spokesman Rupert Colville said in Geneva. Some of the busiest train lines were disrupted yet again on Wednesday, with huge queues of commuters forming after local media reported that protesters were blocking subway doors from closing and damaging stations.
