Following mass protests, Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam says extradition bill is “dead.”
Hong Kong protest leaders opposed to the administration of Chief Executive Carrie Lam said Tuesday that they will continue their demonstrations, even after Lam declared the effort to amend a highly contentious extradition bill"dead."
"So how can the government tell us that we should preserve our rule of law, when herself does not use the principle of the rule of law," the two said. The protests against the proposed extradition legislation have given voice to fears that Hong Kong is losing the freedoms guaranteed to it when the former British colony was returned to China in 1997.
