Hong Kong protesters turn out in force for 11th weekend (11 images)
Heavy rains on Sunday in Hong Kong did not seem to deter protesters, who turned out to demonstrate against government leaders and a police force they accuse of brutality. The rally marked the 11th weekend in a row that protesters took to the streets in Hong Kong.
