Hong Kong students formed human chains across the territory Monday in support of anti-government protests following clashes overnight that ended with subway stations trashed and police firing tear gas

to disperse protesters.

But protesters remain dissatisfied as the bill's withdrawal is just one of the five demands they have been making against the government. The other four include an investigation into alleged police brutality during demonstrations and democratic reforms. Speaking to local media after the tour that included a visit to Central MTR station in the central business district, Transport and Housing Secretary Frank Chan urged protesters to "respect other Hong Kong people's rights" to use the subway and to stop vandalizing the transport facility.

The subway has lately been a target of vandalism for its operator's refusal to meet the protesters' demand that it release security camera footage of a police crackdown on protesters inside one of its stations on Aug. 31. Facing complaints of excessive use of force, a police spokesman insisted Monday that the force in the last three months has been "performing their very best" in maintaining Hong Kong's law and order.
