Police still blockade outside the school as security teams search inside buildings.
Hong Kong protests erupted in early June to protest the extradition bill that will allow suspects to be brought to jurisdictions where the Special Zone has not signed an extradition treaty, including mainland China. After the Hong Kong government announced in September its withdrawal of the bill, protesters still took to the streets to make other requests, including investigating the use of force by police, organizing democratic elections and Chief Executive Carrie Lam resigned.
Hong Kong protesters gathered in PolyU since November 17. It is the last of the five protesting universities occupied as a base for disrupting city traffic, blocking a nearby port tunnel linking Cuu Long to Hong Kong Island and other traffic arteries.
The police deployed forces to surround the school and used rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons to prevent people from escaping without handing them over. After a few days, most of the protesters left PolyU, of which about 1,100 were arrested.
The situation in Hong Kong over the weekend was quiet as the city held a district council election. Election results announced on November 25 showed that the democratic side won 377/452 seats, winning in 17/18 counties.
