A planned debate among lawmakers on Hong Kong’s controversial extradition bill was abruptly canceled after protesters swarmed the government building where the Legislative Council (LegCo) was set to convene.
The bill, first proposed in February, would allow mainland China to seek the extradition of suspects wanted by the Chinese regime. A broad opposition has since emerged, concerned that the bill could allow the Chinese Communist Party to charge and extradite with impunity.
