Update on planned protests – 26 September: 1 October looks like being quite interesting

Here is this week’s update on planned protests in Hong Kong. Not all of these may take place, but those for the next seven days are fairly certain. Also, owing to the fluid nature of the protests, some other events may happen at short notice that are not included here.

Clearly National Day on 1 October is a focal point of many protests. Expect more to be announced as some of those highlighted below are banned by the police.
