HONG KONG—Hong Kong university student leaders said on Aug. 22 they'll call for a boycott of the start of classes to pressure the government to respond to the protest movement gripping the city since June.
Student union leaders from 10 universities said they want students to skip the first two weeks of classes in September. They vowed to escalate their action if the city’s Beijing-backed leader, Carrie Lam, fails to respond by Sept. 13.
