Following a bill that seeks to allow extradtition to China, nearly two million people have taken part in a mass protest in Hong Kong , organisers say.
If true, it would be the largest protest since 1989. Police counted 338,000 in the approved protest route.
The masses turned out despite the suspension of the bill – which would allow extradition from Hong Kong to mainland China – on Saturday.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam has on Sunday apologised for proposing the bill.
Many protesters, who fear increased Chinese influence over Hong Kong, are calling on her to resign over the unrest.
The protest was mainly peaceful, with police officers reportedly holding back to allow the throngs of people to slowly pass through the city. This contrasted to scenes at the last previous major demonstration on Wednesday, which saw clashes between protesters and police that injured dozens.
The demonstration began early in the afternoon in Victoria Square, with many wearing black.
Many held white flowers to mourn a protester who fell to his death on Saturday from a ledge, where hours earlier he had unfurled an anti-extradition banner.
The progress of the march was slow, as the large numbers of people blocked many streets and crowded train stations.
