Anti-extradition law protest in Hong Kong

(14 Jul 2019) Protesters demanding the resignation of Hong Kong's chief executive and an investigation into alleged police violence filled the streets of Hong Kong on Sunday. The latest protest adds to an outpouring of grievances against the Chinese territory's leaders. On Sunday, protesters demanded an investigation into complaints that police assaulted participants in earlier demonstrations against the extradition law. Some carried signs reading "Carrie Lam commited war crime." Other signs read "Stand up for HK (Hong Kong)." The protests reflect mounting complaints that Hong Kong's leaders are eroding the freedoms and autonomy promised when the territory was returned to China in 1997. The government of Chief Executive Carrie Lam suspended action last month on the extradition bill, which would have allowed Hong Kong crime suspects to be transferred to the mainland, where the ruling Communist Party controls the court system. Lam apologised for her handling of the legislation, but critics are demanding she resign.
