As pro-democracy protests continue in Hong Kong,... more clashes took place in the city on Tuesday... and this time it was on the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.<br />Lee Kyung-eun reports.<br />Hong Kong woke up to large fires across the city on Wednesday after yet another day of violent protests and clashes between protesters and the authorities.<br />Tram tracks and a bridge were in flames and roads were blocked by thousands of protesters.<br />Schools and businesses have also closed temporarily amid the chaos.<br />"I think that we have to come out and take a stand, if everyone's scared, and if people don't come out, then there won't be any way to solve Hong Kong's problems."<br />This after police and students battled on the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.<br />Anti-government protesters threw petrol bombs and lit fires outside the campus and some blocked roads, while police prepared a water cannon to drive them back.<br />The police even went into a church firing teared gas to arrest protesters.<br />Among the arrested was an eleven-year-old.<br />"The tears make the people heard and our voice will come together as one to stop them from entering our campus. I think it is violence to our campus that we are staying here. I do not know if they even have the warrant to get in to the campus to do what they think to protect the society."<br />On the same day, Hong Kong police held a press conference, saying they have the power to enforce the law on campus as the rioters' acts of throwing objects onto the road from a height and setting fires pose a great threat to public security.<br />"In view of the rioters' acts, the police actively conducted a number of actions, including entering the campus to disperse and arrest the rioters.<br />Even without a search warrant, the Police Force Ordinance has empowered us to enter, search and make arrest in relevant places."<br />The Chinese government is siding with the Hong Kong police, with its state-run media Global Times saying, for the first time in four months, that its troops should be deployed to suppress the protests.<br />In response, the president of the university’s student union filed an injunction with the High Court to stop police from entering the campus and using lethal weapons without its approval.<br />The city's religious leaders and legal professionals are also joining the protest to stand with the students.<br />Lee Kyung-eun, Arirang News.<br />
