Hong Kong Police Arrest Protesters for Using Social Media to Organize — Students work at what is called the "Study Corner," which was set up by a few activists so students can still do their homework and study while protesting at the same time in the Central District of Hong Kong on Oct. 14, 2014. The study has a generator which provides electricity and also working WiFi for the students. Benjamin Chasteen/Epoch Times
