Anti-extradition bill protestors in block access to govt building

(24 Jun 2019) Protesters fearing an erosion of Hong Kong's legal autonomy blocked access to a government office building for nearly two hours Monday and plan more demonstrations to draw the attention of leaders attending the G-20 summit this week. About 100 demonstrators jammed the entryway and lobby of the Inland Revenue Tower, a skyscraper in the Wan Chai district in the city center. Hundreds of thousands of people have filled the streets and sidewalks in recent weeks to oppose legislation seen as increasing Beijing's control and police treatment of the protesters.    Protestors like John Wang, a student demonstrator, called on G-20 leaders to discuss Hong Kong, China has rejected foreign commentary over the protests and the extradition issue as interference in its internal affairs. At a briefing in Beijing Monday, Zhang Jun, an assistant foreign minister, said the situation in Hong Kong will not be discussed during G-20. Pro-democracy activists and legislators and others critical of a controversial extradition bill have insisted they are not satisfied with apologies from the authorities over the handling of the unpopular legislation and over police moves during protests that many Hong Kong residents considered overly aggressive.
