		</div><p>Hong Kong protesters flooded streets again on Sunday, ignoring a police ban on the rally and demanding the government meet their demands for accountability and political rights.</p>
<p>Protest leaders carried a black banner at the front of the procession with a slogan <em>“Five main demands, not one less”</em>.</p>
<p>Some frontline demonstrators blocked streets not long after the march began.</p>
<p>Police had beefed up security measures for the unauthorised rally, the latest in the five-month-old unrest rocking the semi-autonomous Chinese city.</p>
<p>Water-filled plastic security barriers went up around a rail terminal where the protest march will finish. The city’s subway operator restricted passenger access to West Kowloon station.</p>
<p>Supporters of the movement gathered at the rally’s starting point on a waterfront promenade. Many wore masks in defiance of a recently introduced ban on face coverings at public gatherings, and volunteers handed more out to the crowd.</p>
<p>Organisers said they wanted to use their right to protest, as guaranteed by the city’s constitution despite the risk of arrest.</p>
<p><em>“We’re using a peaceful, rational, non-violent way to voice our demands,”</em> Figo Chan, vice convener of the Civil Human Rights Front, told reporters.</p>
<p><em>“We’re not afraid of being arrested. What I’m most scared of is everyone giving up on our principles.”</em></p>
<p>The group has organised some of the movement’s biggest protest marches. One of its leaders, Jimmy Sham, was attacked on Wednesday by assailants wielding hammers.</p>
<p>On Saturday, police arrested a 22-year-old man on suspicion of stabbing a teenage activist who was distributing leaflets near a wall plastered with pro-democracy messages.</p>
<p>A witness told local broadcaster RTHK that the assailant shouted afterwards that Hong Kong is “a part of China” and other pro-Beijing messages.</p>
<p>The movement sprang out of opposition to a government proposal for a China extradition Bill and then ballooned into broader demands for full democracy and an inquiry into alleged police brutality.</p>
