HONG KONG—Hundreds of uniformed school students, many wearing masks, formed human chains in districts across Hong Kong on Sept. 9  in support of anti-government protesters after another weekend of clashes in the Chinese-ruled city.

Metro stations reopened after some were closed on Sunday amid sometimes violent confrontations, although the mood in the Asian financial hub remained tense.
