Hong Kong is not backing down
- 5 years ago
Almost 2 million people marched on Sunday against a contentious extradition bill, according to organizers.
Hong Kong’s leader, Carrie Lam, apologized and suspended the legislation amid an uproar over concerns that the bill would expose the semi-autonomous city’s residents to the opaque legal system in mainland China.
But protesters are not done with their fight.
On Monday morning, demonstrators occupied the space in and around the Hong Kong government’s headquarters to demand the extradition bill be fully withdrawn and for Lam to step down. We meet protesters and spoke to them about why their fight is not over yet.
