More than a thousand people have rallied through Sydney’s streets in support of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.

Thousands rallied in Sydney and Taipei to support Hong Kong democracy protesters on Sunday, kicking off a day of planned "anti-totalitarianism" demonstrations globally.

In one of the largest solidarity marches in Australia since Hong Kong's latest pro-democracy movement began in June, black-clad participants took to the streets chanting "Add oil", a protest slogan denoting encouragement.

Some Sydney protesters held signs that read "Save Hong Kong" and "Stop tyranny", while others carried yellow umbrellas or handed out paper cranes in scenes that played out in other major cities across the country on Sunday.
