Hong Kong police to enter university as hunt for protesters turns up empty.
The university on Wednesday asked government departments for help removing"dangerous materials" from the site, which is littered with rotting waste and detritus of the siege, urging authorities to take a"humane" approach.
Demonstrators are angry at what they see as Beijing's meddling in the freedoms promised to the former British colony when it returned to Chinese rule in 1997. Hong Kong authorities hope that a lull in clashes over the weekend during local elections, where pro-democracy candidates scored a landslide victory, can translate into more calm after nearly six months of turmoil.Secretary for Security John Lee said on Wednesday police had arrested more than 5,800 people since June, the numbers increasing exponentially in October and November, and had charged 923.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Office in Hong Kong called the report"false", without elaborating, in a statement posted on its website Tuesday."No matter how the situation in Hong Kong changes, the Chinese government's determination to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests is unwavering," it said.
