HONG KONG —Hong Kong authorities granted protesters permission to march this weekend, organizers said on Dec. 5, giving the green light to a rally seen as a gauge of the pro-democracy movement’s support following its sweeping victory in local elections.

The Civil Human Right Front, the group that organized million-strong marches in the China-ruled city in June, said it had received permission from police for a planned Human Rights Day rally on Sunday.
