VIDEO - Hong Kong pro-democracy rally: 'The streets are full once again'

For the first time since August, police allowed a rally by the Civil Human Rights Front, a pro-democracy group.
Organisers said an estimated 800,000 took part while police put the number at 183,000.

Organisers of the rally, the Civil Human Rights Front, said this is the government's last chance to meet their demands, which include an independent inquiry into the police's handling of the protests, an amnesty for those arrested, and free elections.

Around 6,000 people have been arrested and hundreds injured, including police, since June.

The attacks on the courts were widely condemned by march organisers, police and the government, which it said "undermined Hong Kong's reputation as a city governed by the rule of law".
Earlier, police said a Glock semi-automatic pistol and 105 bullets were discovered during raids along with a haul of knives and firecrackers. It was said to be the first time that a handgun was found since the protests began.
