A hardcore group of protesters remains inside Hong Kong’s Polytechnic – preparing, perhaps for the final police showdown. Any adults who leave the campus have been warned they will be arrested on suspicion of rioting – which carries a penalty of up to 10 years in jail.

Those inside have described the situation as ‘desperate’ – short on food, water and medical supplies.
