"The Polytechnic University campus has been ceased for quite sometime already, and we are extremely worried about the dangerous situation in the campus. So the two important principles that I have laid out for the police operation. The first of course is to have peaceful resolution as far as possible. This objective could only be achieved with the full cooperation of the protesters, including of course the rioters, that they have to stop violence, give up their weapons and come out peacefully and take the instructions from the police."

"In order to achieve the objective of both a peaceful and sort of reconciliatory resolution, I have asked that the treatments to these under-minors should be in a very humanitarian way. So we have arranged for principals and religious groups representatives to go into the campus to encourage and persuade these minors to come out peacefully. If they come out peacefully, we would just put down the data, so we make a record of their personal data and they may then leave the campus and return to home. We have not done any immediate arrest of these underage protesters or other participants within the campus."

"At the moment, as far as I could gather, there were about 600 people within the Polytechnic campus who have come out. About 200 of them are minors and they have been subjected to the special arrangements that I have just referred to. And of the other 400 over 18, they have been immediately arrested."

Chief Executive of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Carrie Lam on Tuesday urged the rioters who are still staying in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) to stop the violence and leave immediately.
The police will continue to persuade and arrange for the remaining rioters to leave the campus as soon as possible, so that the operation could end in a peaceful manner and lay the basis for the subsequent work by the police to stop violence in Hong Kong, she said at a press conference.
