Hong Kong police say they found almost four thousand petrol bombs in
two days while clearing the Polytechnic University campus which was
the site of a fiery stand-off between activists and police.
The officers moved in when the three thousand-nine-hundred and
eighty-nine protesters left and discovered petrol bombs, one thousand
three-hundred and thirty-nine explosive items, six hundred and one
bottles of corrosive liquids, and five hundred and seventy-three
weapons.
The campus has now been handed back to the university management after
Protesters barricaded themselves inside the campus for two weeks.
The authorities responded by sealing off the university grounds,
trapping more than one thousand protesters inside at one point.
The university had been held by student activities for weeks who were
armed with bricks, petrol bombs, bows and arrows, attacked the police
lines during the siege.
