Hong Kong high school students gathered in a park on what was the first day the new school year Monday in a strike to show their continued support for the pro-democracy movement.

Earlier, demonstrators disrupted the Monday morning commute by blocking train doors.

Sunday protesters seeking democratic rights blocked access to the international airport, setting fire to barricades on the road, blocking entrance to the airport bus terminal and leading transit officials to suspend train service to the facility.

The protests prompted authorities to cancel some flights, which forced travelers to trek on foot for hours toward the city center.

Many of Sunday's protesters wanted to exact revenge after riot police on Saturday beat rail customers with batons and soaked them with pepper spray while carrying out arrests. Most of those attacked were not arrested.
