End UPDATE

This is the time and place listed on on the flyer handed to me last weekend by Leung Kwok-hung's crowd in Causeway Bay. The website listed on the flyer is rebuildhk.com. Glutter has an open letter from rebuildhk.com which she has provided a translation for as well as a link for a "music video". This morning's SCMP^[?] reports on Chak Nuen-fai, a 86-year old that is going to march as long as his health is able.

"It will be the first time I have joined a march in my life. I really want to voice my aspirations for democracy," he said.

The longtime patriot made his decision to march after he watched Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen's say on television that Hong Kong would be further away from the goal of universal suffrage if the government's reform proposal was vetoed by the Legislative Council.

Mr Chak said Beijing maintained a tight grip on democratic development in Hong Kong, which was a "big sorrow" for the people. "Beijing will turn a blind eye to you if you don't speak out," he said. In September 1967, Mr Chak, general manager of the now-defunct Nan Cheung Printing Company, was jailed for three years for printing seditious articles in three pro-Beijing newspapers, the Hong Kong Evening News, New Afternoon News and Tin Fung Daily.

Mr Chak was hailed as a "patriotic businessman" by leftist leaders after his imprisonment. In 1983 he became a Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference delegate, but boycotted its meetings after the Tiananmen crackdown in 1989. He wanted to join the 500,000-strong march in July 2003, but did not as he was not fit.

He said the argument that democracy and marches would threaten stability was not convincing. "Stability in Hong Kong would be fragile if we do not attain full democracy," he said.

SCMP also provides some numbers and logistics for the march.

The march will start at 3pm in Victoria Park. Participants are being asked to dress in black, as did participants in the July 1 march in 2003. A huge rattan bird cage will be carried at the head of the procession, signifying that Hong Kong's democracy is being constrained.

While organisers provisionally notified police that about 50,000 would protest, the authorities have said they will open up six traffic lanes between Victoria Park and Central if the turnout is greater.

It is understood organisers are expecting a much higher turnout, as opposition to the government's reform package is growing.
