HK police plan to enter ransacked campus

Hong Kong police plan to send officers this morning into the ransacked remains of a university campus where authorities faced off for days with barricaded pro-democracy protesters, an official said yesterday. The announcement came as university leaders called for police to lift their siege given the sprawling facility appeared to be deserted. Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) was the epicentre of the territory's increasingly violent protest movement when clashes broke out on November 17 between police and protesters.
