JUST IN: Hong Kong government formally withdraws controversial extradition Bill following months of protests HongKongProtests

Hong Konger Chan Tong-kai is accused of murdering his girlfriend in Taiwan in February last year. He fled back to his home city, where Taiwanese police have been unable to apprehend him because of the lack of an extradition agreement.

Protesters hold hands to form a human chain during a rally to call for political reforms in Hong Kong on Sep 13, 2019. Sparked by the introduction of the extradition Bill, the rallies have since morphed into wider calls against what protesters see as erosions of the freedoms the city enjoys under the “one country, two systems” principle enshrined in its handover from Britain in 1997.
