Last updated date: 2019-11-25 22:24In the past six months, the anti-amendment dispute has caused the political storm to go straight to the district board elections. The establishment of many heavyweights has been defeated, and political amateurs have come on stage.
On the other hand, the Polytechnic University has had a fierce police-civilian conflict since noon on the 17th of this month. So far, it is still on the 9th day.
The newly elected Democratic District Council will be near PolyU and support the demonstrators. The PolyU issued a statement hoping that the government would immediately adopt a peaceful and humane approach to advise them to leave.
[22:13] Demonstrators outside the Hotel Icon left, but still gathered in Tsim Sha Tsui. It is estimated that there are thousands of people. Police officers are on the footbridge leading to PolyU and the Science Museum.
[21:56] In addition to the Hotel Icon near PolyU, hundreds of people gathered at night, and the news indicated that police officers were holding weddings here. A man in a suit smokes near the hotel. It is unknown whether the groom was surrounded by the person present and the man immediately returned to the hotel. The Hotel Icon is now surrounded by demonstrators.
[21:25] The demonstrators at the Science Museum lit up the flashlight of the mobile phone, and the police officers on the bridge used a powerful flashlight to illuminate the demonstrators below.
[21:00] Chen Jianqin, a candidate for the Socialist Workers' Choice Awards, went to PolyU. She said on Facebook, "The last trapped citizens and students are discussing with the school."
[20:56] PolyU sends an open letter to students, faculty, and alumni:
"Since last Sunday (November 17), the PolyU campus has been blocked for more than a week. During this time, the entire management team, including the deans of the colleges, worked day and night to find people who remain on campus and lobby. They left; at the same time, we also kept in touch with the police. Our management team, teachers and counselors have done their utmost to contact the college students and colleagues who stay on campus, and the teachers and students we can contact have been Leave safely.
So far, more than 1,000 people have left the campus peacefully, including about 300 middle school students; according to our understanding, these more than 1,000 people include about 50 science students. It is estimated that dozens of people are still staying on campus. As the health of the campus deteriorates and the environment becomes more dangerous, we hope that those who remain on campus will be worried about their family, friends and other people, and hope that they can change their mind and leave the campus as soon as possible. We have also contacted the police several times today to ask the police to let them leave the campus peacefully after registering the ID cards of the left-behind students on campus.
During this period, the University's Physical and Mental Health and Counselling Service continued to provide counselling support services. Students can contact professional counselors via email and telephone. We will also set up a temporary office to provide face-to-face counselling services. Details will be announced in due course.
Although we expect the current situation to be resolved as soon as possible, it is still too early to reopen the campus. The reason is that we have to wait until the police complete the investigation, search and cleanup of dangerous goods on campus, and after deblocking the campus, we can assign professional consultants to conduct a comprehensive safety assessment of the buildings, facilities and environment on the campus, and then clean up, Repair and rebuild the campus.
Given that the current campus environment is still quite dangerous, only authorized persons can enter. I was grateful to many colleagues, classmates and alumni for their care and concern for PolyU. Some of them expressed their wish to participate in the cleanup and rehabilitation of the campus. The university colleagues are grateful. When the campus is restarted, we will definitely invite everyone's help, but we still have to appeal to you not to return to campus.
In order to better protect the safety of classmates and colleagues, we have hired additional professional security personnel to strengthen security on campus and student residences, and immediately implement the following security measures:
· University campuses are restricted to university students, employees and authorized persons;
· Persons intending to enter the campus or student residences must present valid documents for identity checks;
· The parking lot will be closed to the public on weekdays or holidays; and · Strengthen the security of student residences. Details will be announced by the Office of the Chief of Staff.
In this difficult time, we are very grateful to the PolyU community for their understanding and support, including the chairman and members of our school board, employees, students and alumni, and social friendly partners.
We hope that this unprecedented crisis can be resolved peacefully, let us unite and make the university return to calm as soon as possible, and the campus can complete the repair work as soon as possible. We will report to you the latest plans and arrangements of the university in due course. "

[20:05] In Hung Hom, there were hundreds of people who lit up the mobile phone lights in the direction of PolyU, and screamed "shoulders and hands" and sang "Glory to Hong Kong" and "Broad Sky". On the rooftop of the campus of Chen Liling, PolyU, there was a left-behind person who responded with a light, but then left without knowing.
[20:00] Pastor Chen Enming and Chen Jinmei, wife of Pastor Yuan Tianyou, met the reporter. They said that in addition to the two people who had already seen the reporter, they could not find a third person and could not see anyone coming out to take food and go to the toilet. But they admit that it is difficult to say that PolyU has "no one", but can't find it.
The police said that they will send negotiating experts and other social workers to PolyU. Chen Enming said that he personally feels that it is best for the PolyU staff to re-manage PolyU, because the left-behind people who have been in contact with the police have entered the police. The words are very wary, because the left-behind and the citizens, after five or six months, unfortunately have a lot of traumatic memories. "The biggest difficulty in persuading people to leave is the word "police". Everyone wants to go home, but the reason for the refusal is through police channels, fear of arrest, surveillance, and even blame and beating. They all understand riots, Illegal assembly, but no confidence in the police. Advise the biggest problem."
