away for health checks and simply because they've been holed up in this campus for days now now carol lam also mentioned on in that press conference earlier that she believes a number of the protesters who were holed up inside on this campus at polytechnic university they weren't actually students so they'll be doing identity checks checking the names and as you mentioned those under 18 i'm not being arrested their families have been lining up in front of us and they've been taking those under 18 home but the ones who are over 18 they will be arrested and charged down the track and then what sort of what possible fate awaits them if they're charged with the rioting for instance what kind of sentence if found guilty that they could expect. well if they are charged with rioting they could face up to 10 years in jail it's certainly a heavy sentence and that's what some of these protesters have been afraid of and now it's been a number of calls by this protest movement the anti-government movement to not refer to these protests and demonstrations as right simply because it incurs a heavier pe
