Police Force statement on situation in Chinese University of Hong Kong

**********************************************************************

As the night fell, the situation remained tense in Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). In pursuit of a peaceful solution to defuse the situation, Police have communicated with the school and are arranging a retreat to stop the standoff. Police appeal to protestors to stop charging. A Specialised Crowd Management Vehicle is at the scene and will be deployed to assist a retreat if necessary.

In the meantime, the protestors in CUHK are reminded to refrain from throwing objects onto Tolo Highway and MTR track. Such acts seriously hamper the safety of train system and threaten passengers’ safety.
