Heads say government response to protests ‘ineffective’ as campuses overrun
The heads of nine universities in Hong Kong have criticised the government for its “ineffective” response to the political unrest that moved to the city’s campuses this week.
A statement signed by presidents of some of the region’s top academic institutions said Hong Kong had seen a rapid escalation of violence in the last week, including the deaths of two people . Several universities were now under protesters’ control, the statement said.
