Beijing, Nov 13 (Prensa Latina) Hong Kong (south of China) is paralyzed for the third consecutive day on Wednesday, after a night of intense riots and altercations between demonstrators and the police, in both the streets and at a university campus.
As on Monday and Tuesday, this morning several areas of the city were the scenario of destruction at train stations, road blocks and barricades on major avenues, obstructing people's movements.
As a result, limited subway and public bus lines are operating, as most transportation has been cancelled.
The situation worsened on Tuesday night, at the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where homemade bombs were detonated, blunt objects were thrown and there were clashes with the police.
Local media reported the serious incidents, and the police said in a statement that 'in order to find a peaceful solution to the situation, contact was made with the school and it was agreed to withdraw commandos to stop the clashes.'
However, they warned that a specialized police vehicle will stay on site to intervene if necessary.
