#PolyU protesters eventually retreat after driving the police back in the face of whizzing rubber bullets and gas pellets. They’re mostly inside the campus again. Police showing no mercy #HK#HongKongProtests#StandWithHongKong
We're live as police surround protesters at a Hong Kong university. It comes after officials threatened to use live rounds against them as clashes intensify dramatically https://t.co/9xjytmLDR1
On Nathan Road, main street of Kowloon, Hong Kong people are united and form long human chains to transport supply to the frontline. We must save ppl who got trapped in #PolyUHK!
Pro-democracy protesters inside Hong Kong's Polytechnic University say they're 'terrified' history will repeat itself.
Using the hashtag #Tiananmen2019 they are pleading for help, claiming they fear some people may die in the ongoing siege https://t.co/FREEa84H2n
Med et universitetscampus i flammer og politi og demonstranter i kraftige sammenstøt, er jeg veldig bekymret over hva som vil skje videre i Hongkong. https://t.co/oVAbWuyCI9 #StandWithPolyU
Police have cordoned off access to PolyU, will not allow press in to the campus unless you’re relieving someone inside. Mixed reports of the truth of that as well. Serious decline of press freedoms in Hong Kong today
Protesters have made multiple attempts to flee the campus this morning, but have always been attacked and repelled. It's hard to imagine what police hope to achieve if it's not bloodshed.

They can't get into the uni without live fire (they've tried).
A photo of what I just mentioned. Clear violation of international standards on use of teargas. The cops were peaking their heads up & shooting so fast, they didn’t even see what they were shooting, right down on heads, most here don’t have helmets.
A bloody fight has broken out between protesters and riot police outside Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where upwards of several hundred student protesters have been barricaded inside for days. https://t.co/TCtHvlLEId
