Hundreds of Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters on Saturday rallied against the government's attempt to ban a political party, saying it dealt the most serious threat to the city's freedom of association since its return to Chinese rule.
Organizers said 1,200 protested, while the police estimated 600 attended at the peak.
The city's security chief said on Tuesday the police had advised him to ban the Hong Kong National Party, which openly promotes the city's secession from China.
