Police in Hong Kong have surrounded a campus where pro-democracy activists have taken refuge. The former defence minister, who's credited for the final defeat of Tamil Rebels in Sri Lanka, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa promised to be the leader of all Sri Lankans following his election as president, regardless of race or religion.
