The city has been shaken by historic demonstrations in the past three weeks, when protesters have demanded the withdrawal of a bill that would allow extraditions to the Chinese mainland.
Pro-democracy activists have organised a march every handover anniversary, calling for greater democratic freedoms, such as the right to elect the city’s leader.
The pro-democracy rally is scheduled to take place this afternoon, following the same route the two mass rallies last month took from a park to the city’s legislature.
Earlier, on Sunday, tens of thousands of pro-establishment protesters rallied in support of Hong Kong’s police.
