Hong Kong protesters took to the streets Sunday to demand the city's top official resign a day after she suspended — but did not withdraw —contentious legislation to allow extraditions to China that opponents say must be scrapped entirely.
Protesters in Hong Kong marched Sunday in a fresh mass rally to demand the city's top official step down after she suspended but did not withdraw controversial legislation that would allow extraditions to mainland China.
Citizens crowded subways and ferries to make their way to the latest protest that comes amid intensifying worries over what is seen as increasing erosion to Hong Kong's autonomy under a "one country, two systems" arrangement with China. Citizens, many dressed in black, packed subway carriages as they made their way to participate in the march beginning in the late afternoon in hot, muggy weather and that followed a similar one last Sunday that drew hundreds of thousands. Crowds also lined up to take ferries across famed Victoria Harbor to join the demonstration.
Lam had vowed to press ahead with amendments to Hong Kong law to allow extraditions to places with which it has no such arrangements — including mainland China.
