Venting anger and grief, thousands of people joined leaders of Occupy Central and other civic groups in Tamar Park last night as they vowed to start waves of protests against Beijing's decision to tightly control elections in Hong Kong.

While one of Occupy's leaders vowed to usher in "wave after wave" of protest, Joshua Wong Chi-fung, convenor of student-led Scholarism, urged secondary school pupils to boycott classes. "In addition to our academic responsibility, we also have our social responsibility," he said.
