Police have approved a Sunday march by the Civil Human Rights Front, the first CHRF event since August 18 and the first march they've received a permit for since June.

Police tactics since that August rally have been to foreclose peaceful rallies either by revoking permission mid-protest (like happened with the march on the US consulate on September 8), shutting down public transit, or firing tear gas unprovoked like happened last Sunday
