The siege of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University occurred during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests on the campus of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). The event was preceded by a similar conflict at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It was precipitated by the setting-up of a roadblock at the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, next to the university. Protesters gathered at the university to defend the roadblock from attacks by the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF). The police shot tear gas and used water cannons to shower the protesters with water containing blue colouring and chemical irritants. The protesters responded by throwing bricks and petrol bombs.

  • The siege of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University occurred during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests on the campus of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). The event was preceded by a similar conflict at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It was precipitated by the setting-up of a roadblock at the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, next to the university. Protesters gathered at the university to defend the roadblock from attacks by the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF). The police shot tear gas and used water cannons to shower the protesters with water containing blue colouring and chemical irritants. The protesters responded by throwing bricks and petrol bombs. Thereafter, the police blocked different campus exits and forbade protesters from leaving. Police tried to drive an armoured vehicle into campus but the vehicle was hit by petrol bombs, forcing it to reverse. The police arrested people who claimed to be first-aid personnel, medical volunteers and reporters. On 18 November the police shot 1,458 canisters of tear gas at protesters as well as 1,391 rubber bullets, 325 bean bag rounds, and 256 sponge grenades. On 19 November the city's hospitals were overwhelmed by the number of protesters needing urgent medical attention caused by the siege, and advised citizens not to use emergency rooms unless absolutely necessary.

  • 香港理工大學衝突(英語:Siege of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University,又稱理大事件、理大圍城戰、理大攻防戰、理大保衛戰、理大圍困、理大之圍、理大激戰、理大暴亂、理大暴動),是指反對逃犯條例修訂草案運動期間,反修例示威者與香港警方在香港理工大學周邊爆發的包圍及衝突。由于香港理工大學連接港九要道紅磡海底隧道而被聚集的示威者阻路,其後演變為警方連日包圍香港理工大學紅磡校區。起初示威者於紅磡海底隧道附近一帶設置路障。2019年11月17日早上有市民清理路障,反修例示威者阻止,其後警察到場驅散,並發射催淚彈及出動水炮車發藍色射水柱及催淚水劑,反修例示威者投擲汽油彈及磚頭還擊。過程中,理工大學多番要求在場學生及教職員離開校園,警方在圍堵校園以絕糧水後亦已多次呼籲市民和記者離開現場,切勿前往該區。示威者制止警察攻入校園,並擊退一架銳武裝甲車。警方施放催淚彈並使用水炮車等攻擊校內示威者,隨後封鎖理工大學各出入口,包圍校內示威者,不准其他市民接近校園,並禁止所有身處校園内人士包括醫護人員離開,記者需出示記者證才可離開,而根據被登記及被捕人士身份亦證明校園內有外援示威者。而警方前往理工大學包圍校園的原因,有消息指因為該校校董劉炳章就佔領事件通報西九龍警區所致,但無人能證實劉炳章是否有報警。11月18日,抗爭者持續被圍困,因此有巿民發起「圍魏救趙」的行動到九龍其他區域前往理大進行營救,引發之後的更大衝突和油麻地人踩人事件。事件被形容為反送中運動以來最大的人道危機。根據警方數字,截至2022年8月31日,衝突中合共有1,393人遭拘捕,其中810人由理大離開時被捕。而318位未成年抗爭者者被要求登記身份及個人資料,成為單日最多拘捕人數的一次。 (zh)
