Hong Kong Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam has said that a controversial extradition bill, which has spurred weeks of protests in the semi-autonomous Chinese city,"is dead" -- but stopped short of a formal withdrawal.
On Tuesday, Lam admitted that the legislative process had been a"complete failure" and said there was"no such plan" to restart debates over the bill, which critics fear could be used to target dissidents in Hong Kong for prosecution in China. "On the 18 of June, I expressed my sincere apology," she said."The cause of these grievances are caused by the government. There are still lingering doubts about whether the government will restart the bill.
