HONG KONG–Pro-democracy protesters dug in at several university campuses across Hong Kong on Nov. 13, setting the stage for further confrontations.

Protesters—many of them young students—spent much of Wednesday fortifying barricades and stockpiling food and makeshift weapons, as other roving bands of masked protesters disrupted transport and businesses in many areas.
