議事論事：理大圍城戰（英文字幕版） Legco Review: PolyU under Siege (With English Subtitles)

反修例示威者連續多日發起三罷行動，大規模堵路、破壞商場及焚燒過海隧道收費設施，又進佔大學校園，以弓箭等武器對抗警方。警方繼早前攻入中文大學校園與示威者發生大規模衝突後，近日再提升武力，包圍理工大學校園，不容市民進出。示威者多次嘗試突圍期間，雙方發生激戰。

For days in a row, anti-extradition protestors have called for city-wide strikes. Roads were blocked, shopping centres were vandalised and the toll booths at the Cross-Harbour Tunnel were set on fire. The protestors also occupied university campuses and fought the police with bows and arrows among other weapons. Meanwhile, after storming into the Chinese University of Hong Kong and clashing violently with the protestors earlier, the police have further escalated the use of force. They besieged the Polytechnic University, and citizens were prohibited from entering the campus. As the protestors tried several times to break the police’s siege, the two sides engaged in fierce fighting.



警方今次使用裝甲車、震撼彈及聲波炮等裝備，對付示威者，惹起爭議。被困人士中除示威者外，亦有其他學生、社工及醫護等人，警方以暴動罪名拘捕在場人士，是否恰當？ 以強硬手段止暴制亂，能否有效恢復社會秩序？

The police’s use of armoured vehicles, stun grenades and a long range acoustic device to crack down on protestors aroused controversies. Apart from the protestors, other students, social workers, medics and healthcare professionals were also trapped inside the university. They were all arrested on suspicion of rioting. Were the arrests legitimate at all? The police have been using forceful measures to stamp out violence. Can social order be effectively restored?
