People have been streaming into Victoria Park for an anti-extradition rally scheduled to finish at 5 o'clock.
Police have rejected the organiser's original plan to march to North Point, although many protesters have ignored such bans in the past.

The organiser has posted 60 marshals at the football pitch area to maintain orders, but says it has no control over what happens outside the park.

Some protesters also wrote their demands on placards in different languages to explain their actions to foreign visitors. The three-day sit-in protest started on Friday.
