综上,这群不敢亲自踏足香港的美国议员随意张口通过的“人权”法案,到底在“庇护”一群什么样的人呢?
几位CNN记者造访了被示威者当作基地的香港理工大学,并记录下自己的见闻:
校园环境堪忧——
“Atop one of the campus‘ entrances, there was a noticeable stench of smoldering rubbish and petrol that burned the nose。”
“在校园的一个入口处,有一股明显的垃圾和汽油的臭味,十分刺鼻。”
遍地汽油弹瓶子——
“Thousands of unused petrol bombs littered the campus on the path to the canteen, which had become something of a main headquarters for the protesters。”
“数千枚未使用的汽油弹散落在通往食堂的道路上,这里已经成为抗议者的主要基地。“
记者上午十一点半到访有留守者还在睡——
“Only about 50 or so protesters were inside when CNN visited。 Some slept while others looked aimlessly at their phones。”
“CNN到访时,只有大约50名抗议者在里面。一些人在睡觉,另一些人则漫无目的地看手机。”
在游泳池里练习抛掷汽油弹——
“Several tried to jump across a highway near the pool, which had been emptied and used for Molotov cocktail-throwing practice。 ”
“一些人(为了出逃)试图跳过一条高速公路,临近的游泳池已经空了,被用来练习扔汽油弹。”
校园里一片狼藉,校园附近的公路、隧道和公共设施也被毁坏——
“They had used the PolyU campus as a base from which they launched operations to block nearby roads and the Cross-Harbour Tunnel which connects Kowloon to Hong Kong Island。”
“他们以理大校园为基地,展开行动,堵截附近的道路和连接九龙与香港岛的海底隧道。”
记者还采访了校园里一位负责医疗的志愿者,赵医生。这位医生感慨,香港警察不容易——
“They have been working under a lot of pressure these months。”
“这几个月他们一直在很大的压力下工作。”
