The actions of police at #PolyU are disturbing. The Chinese and Hong Kong government need to deescalate. We’ve had enough bloodshed. #StandWithHongKong

The Chinese and #HongKong governments must immediately deescalate the situation and exercise restraint at #PolyU. More violence & bloodshed will only make things worse.
The world is watching. #StandWithHongKong #DemocracyForHK

The House passed the bipartisan Hong Kong Human Right and Democracy Act last month and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed the bipartisan Senate version two months ago. Why won't Senator McConnell act to demonstrate U.S. values and help Hong Kong stand up to China?

08.53 More teargas shot at PolyU. There are no protesters on the street, so this is clearly aimed at those up on the parapets (ie, an attack on the uni). Are police softening the frontlines up in preparation for a campus invasion? Video here: facebook.com/standnewshk/vid…

Five months of police daily use of tear gas across town has literally turned Hong Kong into a toxic gas chamber. Even the govt isn’t clear abt the toxins of tear gas (how ridiculous!). Deeply worrying.
