Anti-extradition protesters say they plan to hold seven rallies at different locations across Hong Kong on Monday to coincide with a general strike.
In seven of the venues, Admiralty, Mongkok, Wong Tai Sin, Shatin, Tuen Mun, Tai Po and the gates of Hong Kong Disneyland, organisers intend to seek police approval and permission to use the venues in question. At the final event, in Tsuen Wan, no permission will be sought and people will be asked to go to Tsuen Wan Park to "observe" flowers and trees.
Lawmaker Au Nok-hin, who is helping with the applications, says permission had not yet been received for all of the events, and the police will be infringing on people's right to assembly if they ban any of these rallies.
"So I think that, under the Basic Law Article 27, they should try to facilitate the assemblies as much as they can," he said. "We are now going to have a labour strike. We try to organise it peacefully, rationally and non-violent."
People from many different backgrounds, including civil servants, transport workers and people in the financial industry, have said they intend to take leave from work on Monday.
