Thousands of Accountants Join Latest Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Protests
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Hong Kong, at least 5,000 people, including accountants, marched in
the territory's financial district today. Some of the protesters wore
masks to hide their identities from their employers as China continues
to pressure Hong Kong businesses to denounce anti-government
demonstrations. Pro-democracy protests have been ongoing all summer,
with millions of people taking to the streets of Hong Kong.
