Hong Kong riot
police swooped on pro-democracy
protesters trying to flee a university they had set ablaze Monday, in one of the most violent confrontations seen in nearly six months of unrest.
Hundreds of demonstrators clashed throughout the day with police who had threatened to use deadly force, as
protests also flared in other parts of the city.
China has refused to budge on any of the protesters' demands, and warned it will not tolerate dissent.
