Hong Kong Violence: Hundreds of students remain locked up inside the university (Video)

Hong Kong police have continued their fight against protesters, trying to break the safety cord around the city university, throwing tear gas even to activists trying to escape the surrounding campus but also to the assembled crowd.

Polytechnic University, a campus that has been occupied by demonstrators since last week, has become the centre of a prolonged and tense confrontation between police and protesters, the Periscope from The Guardian follows.

Hundreds of protesters, including high school students, have been stuck in for more than 24 hours, following Sunday's clashes, during which protesters threw jets and arrows at police.

Police have claimed they had allowed the Red Cross to enter the university to deal with injured protesters, but said they were no option but to surrender.

Parents of some of the activists confined inside the university gathered in front of the police cords with signs reading “Save our children”

The riots in the semi-autonom city controlled by the Chinese regime are under way for months now. /Periscope
