Police breached a Hong Kong university campus held by protesters early Monday after an all-night siege that included firing repeated barrages of tear gas and water cannons. Anti-government protesters have barricaded themselves inside Hong Kong Polytechnic University for days. Several hundred people formed a human chain Sunday in central Hong Kong in a peaceful rally in support of the movement. Opposition lawmakers criticized the Chinese military for joining a cleanup to remove debris from streets near Hong Kong Baptist University on Saturday. The Chinese military is allowed in Hong Kong to help maintain public order, but only at the request of the Hong Kong government.
