Protesters barricade Hong Kong university campuses

Protesters race with bows as they practice running away from riot police, on the roof of a bus shelter near the Cross Harbour Tunnel, which was blocked after demonstrators occupied the nearby Hong Kong Polytechnic University, in Hong Kong, November 15, 2019. Protesters have turned several universities into fortresses, stockpiled with petrol bombs and bows and arrows, amid some of the worst violence in the former British colony in decades.

Firefighters extinguish a fire from explosions in an abandoned car, set up by protesters, near a barricade above the Tolo Highway next to the Chinese University campus in Hong Kong, November 15, 2019. Students and protesters have barricaded at least five campuses in the Chinese-ruled city. Police have kept their distance from the campuses for more than two days, saying both sides should cool off, but many observers are afraid of what will happen if and when they move in.
