'I offer my most sincere apology to all people of Hong Kong.'
Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam speaks at a news conference on June 15, 2019, following protests of a contentious extradition bill.
“I offer my most sincere apology to all people of Hong Kong,” she said at a news conference, according to The New York Times. “I’ve still got much to learn and do in better balancing diverse interests, in listening to all walks of life, an in taking our society forward.” The contentious legislation — which Lam has now suspended but not withdrawn — would allow Hong Kong, a semiautonomous Chinese territory, to send people suspected of crimes to jurisdictions including mainland China, where the judicial system is “notoriously opaque and under tight control of the ruling Communist Party,” the Times reports.
