HONG KONG—Hong Kong students, many wearing banned black masks, chanted slogans at their graduation at the Chinese University on Nov. 7, with some holding up banners urging “Free Hong Kong, Revolution Now.”

The students defied a ban on masks that the government imposed last month in a bid to curb sometimes violent unrest that has rocked the Chinese-ruled city for more than five months.
