2019 Hong Kong extradition bill

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced in a televised address that she would formally withdraw an extradition bill which triggered a wave of protests lasting months. The withdrawal of the bill was one of the demands of pro-democracy activists, but they have vowed to carry on with protests until Hong Kong can have “free elections”.

Carrie Lam will pull the highly controversial bill, which protesters have been demanding.
