Student protesters hold out as Hong Kong’s embattled leader Carrie Lam urges peaceful resolution
HONG KONG - Hong Kong’s embattled leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday she hoped a standoff between police and a hold-out group of anti-government protesters at a university could be resolved and she had told police to handle it humanely.
“If the protesters are coming out in a peaceful manner ... then there is no situation when that sort of violence would happen,” she said. At one stage, dozens of mask-wearing protesters staged a dramatic escape from the campus by shimmying down plastic hosing from a bridge and fleeing on waiting motorbikes as police fired projectiles.
“There have been so many people who have sacrificed for this,” said a 21-year-old university student, who identified himself only as T, after escaping from the university on Tuesday. But the city’s autonomy was thrown into question after China’s top legislature questioned the power of Hong Kong’s High Court to overturn a government emergency ban on face masks worn by protesters.
