Around 100 protesters remained trapped inside Hong Kong’s Polytechnic University (PolyU) as of Nov. 19 evening, as Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam criticized them for turning local universities into “weapons factories.”
In her weekly press conference on Nov. 19, Lam said that 400 people have left PolyU voluntarily and were subsequently arrested by police surrounding the campus, on suspicion of rioting. She added that 200 others, who were under the age of 18, were allowed to go home after the police collected their personal information.
