For the first time since August, police have allowed a rally by the Civil Human Rights Front, one of the territory’s largest pro-democracy groups.
Police said 11 people were arrested in raids ahead of the rally and that a handgun was seized.
The protests started in June over a controversial extradition bill, and have now evolved into broader anti-government demonstrations.
“I will fight for freedom until I die,” said June, a 40-year-old mother.
