The demonstrators seize this week’s G20 summit of world leaders to appeal for Hong Kong’s plight to be put on the agenda,

Hong Kong was plunged into chaos again on Thursday as protesters rallied outside the justice secretary’s offices, blocking roads and forcing workers to leave in the latest unrest to rock the city over an extradition bill that has now been suspended.

“I was 11 when the Umbrella Movement happened. I only went to the occupied sites a few times with my family.” “Fight for Justice,” “Free Hong Kong,” and “Democracy Now” were some of the demands emblazoned on the protesters’ banners. The demonstrators have seized on this week’s G20 summit of world leaders in Japan to appeal for Hong Kong’s plight to be put on the agenda, a move certain to rile Beijing, which has vowed not to tolerate such discussion.

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam, who has kept a low profile over the past few days, bowed to public pressure and suspended the bill a day after the violent protests, but stopped short of a full withdrawal and rejected calls to step down.

it was only an extradition bill which involves criminals. why are they so upset over the sending of criminals to the countries where the crimes were committed to face justice? do they hate china that much that they are willing to deprive the victims of justice?

Send in the tank...please! HK people really need to ask themselves what do they really want ? Who they really are also they dont know.
