HONG KONG—Hundreds of mask-wearing pro-democracy protesters marched through Hong Kong’s central business district at lunchtime on Oct. 11, occupying a main thoroughfare as the city braced for another weekend of protests.

Chanting calls for their core demands and denouncing what they see as police brutality, the crowd peacefully occupied streets in the financial district, home to some of the world’s most expensive real estate, before dispersing.
