Australian university students on exchange in Hong Kong are being urged to come home immediately, as protesters take their pro-democracy fight to campuses across the city.
The University of Sydney has started contacting its students in the Chinese-administered city, after Hong Kong University and other institutions suspended classes for the last few weeks of the semester. "Your safety is our utmost concern and based on all the information available to us, and in light that HKU has now suspended/cancelled the semester, the University of Sydney requires you to depart HK immediately and make your way back to Australia," the email sent to students by exchange coordinators on Friday morning said."If you need assistance and advice on how to depart HK, please let me know and USYD will assist you.
Protesters at other universities, including Hong Kong Polytechnic and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, have hurled petrol bombs and bricks at police. Authorities have met the increased violence with tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons filled with blue dye.
Run for your lives! The crazy rioters will attack anything in their way.
Why is all the information in this article sourced from Chinese state media? There are heaps of legitimate international journalists on the ground in Hong Kong and you choose to quote People's Daily, 'the authorities' and the Chinese embassy. Explain.
Gosh I would have thought they were pulled out before now
Quote: 'FM MarisePayne said it was 'essential' that police responded to the protests 'proportionately'.' Out of interest, whats everyone's guess how Aussie cops would react if they'd be attacked by masked thugs with flaming arrows, catapults & petrol bombs? hkprotest hkriots
'Militant students'
hope they all come back safely and could finalise they study there without further impacts.
