Statement by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (5:50pm)

Considering the current tension, the University Management has contacted the Police again and sternly requested them to allow those who are still on the campus to leave peacefully by just recording their identities. PolyU hopes that the Police cordon could be removed at the earliest possible so that normal activity could be resumed on campus.
