HONG KONG, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Hong Kong university students began a five-day boycott of classes protest Monday against Beijing's denial of democratic elections in the city.
Students from 20 Hong Kong schools met at the University of Hong Kong for an orderly demonstration that filled University Mall, the school's main walkway. They dressed in white, wore yellow ribbons and carried banners reading, among other slogans, "The boycotts must happen. Disobey and grasp your destiny."
