Rebellious students abandon occupation of Hong Kong campus.
The Associated PressRebellious students and anti-government protesters abandoned their occupation of nearly all of Hong Kong’s universities Saturday after a near weeklong siege by police, but at least one major campus remained under control of demonstrators.
Dozens of soldiers from a nearby barracks helped street cleaners pick up paving stones, rocks and other obstacles that had cluttered the street and prevented traffic from flowing. Hong Kong riot police looked on from nearby streets. Now in their sixth month, the anti-government protests have grown increasingly violent even as they have shrunk in size, often causing chaos in the streets.
Universities have become the focus of the protests in the past week and the main battleground between pro-democracy activists and the police. Police and protesters fought intense running battles at the Chinese University campus Tuesday, which had been transformed into a fortress by hundreds of protesters.
Service remained partially suspended on at least three of Hong Kong’s 12 rail lines because of damage to stations and other facilities, and many of the city’s buses were not running.
