Hong Kong braces for huge rally as China condemns US 'gross interference'

Hong Kong, Aug 17 (UNI) Hong Kong is bracing for a fresh rally by more than 100,000 protesters after two months of increasingly violent clashes that have prompted severe warnings from Beijing and no sign of concessions from the city’s government.
Police turned down a plan for Sunday’s march – from downtown Victoria Park to the central business district – submitted by the Civil Human Rights Front group, which has organised past demonstrations that drew millions. Police did however give permission for a rally at the park instead, said a Guardian news repotrt.
The Civil Human Rights Front called for a “peaceful, rational and non-violent” rally and online posts also urged “self discipline and calmness” after 10 weeks of intensive protests, many of which ended in violent clashes as police increasingly employed tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds.
