Massive Pro-Democracy Rally Held in Hong Kong 
----------------------------------------------


 
Tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, rallied in Hong Kong
on Tuesday in a call for democracy free from Chinese control.
Pro-democracy activists have been organizing for local elections,
prompting China to declare it has ultimate authority over the
city-state. More than 500 people were arrested. It was Hong Kong's
largest protest in a decade.
