TEHRAN, Nov 27_The crucial Cross Harbour Tunnel in Hong Kong, which had been blocked by anti-government protesters, has been reopened, and a lockdown of the nearby Polytechnic University (PolyU) in the north of the semi-autonomous Chinese city has also practically ended.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_The reopening of the Cross Harbour Tunnel, which connects the northern Kowloon district to the other parts of Hong Kong, came in the early hours of Wednesday.
Anti-government protesters had been blocking the entrance to the tunnel and had barricaded themselves in the PolyU since almost two weeks ago.
On Wednesday, Hong Kong television showed vehicles driving through the tunnel unimpeded.
The PolyU had been used by the anti-government protesters to stockpile weapons, including bows and arrows, catapults, and petrol bombs, prompting police to lay a siege to the university.
