Taiwan Evacuates Students From Hong Kong As Deadly Protest Clashes Continue

[SPUTNIKNEWS] In response to escalated, student-involved violence during Hong Kong anti-government demonstrations and "riots," Taiwan’s Ministry of Education has moved to evacuate over 500 students from the semi-autonomous city via government-chartered flight.As of Friday, nearly half of the Taiwanese student body attending universities in Hong Kong have returned to their home state, according to a November 15 announcement from Taipei.

Police-protester festivities have increased and violence has reached new levels within the past week, prompting the Hong Kong Education Bureau to declare school closures until November 18.

Of the estimated 1,021 Taiwanese students studying in Hong Kong, the Ministry of Education reported a total of 303 are studying at the Chinese University of Hong Kong - which was barricaded and has been the site of several police-student festivities throughout this week..
