Protests planned throughout the week include evening demonstrations in five malls on Christmas eve.
A countdown rally is also planned near the city’s harbour front in the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui shopping district.
Earlier on Sunday, more than 1,000 people rallied calmly in support of China’s ethnic Uighurs, who have been detained en masse in camps in China’s northwestern Xinjiang region. Protesters, some advocating Hong Kong independence, also removed the national flag from its position at the protest site, a move the government said was illegal.
Protests in Hong Kong are now in their seventh month, albeit in a relative lull compared to the scale and intensity of violence since they started in June.
