Thousands march through heavy rain in Hong Kong as Chinese military build-up increases on the border
Billed as a "rational, non-violent" protest, it is being organised by the Civil Human Rights Front, a group that eschews confrontations with police and was the driving force behind record-breaking rallies in June and July that saw hundreds of thousands of people hit the streets.For Sunday's rally protesters have been permitted to gather in a park but banned from marching through the streets.
