Hong Kong youth official praises young protesters’ victory in extradition bill crisis in bid to pacify angry students.

A Hong Kong youth official has said the city’s young people scored a victory with the suspension of the contentious extradition bill – even as angry students continue their threats to besiege government headquarters in pursuit of more concessions.

“My worry is that the violent clashes could return – because anyone could issue a demand in a protest that has no leader – and there could be miscalculations.” Police chief vows action as officers face abuse following Hong Kong protestsLau said he supported an investigation into police violence. He said he decided to break his silence after the bill was suspended, saying the “young protesters have won”.

Several student unions have agreed to join the threatened sit-in, including groups from Chinese University, the Academy for Performing Arts, City University, Education University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Hang Seng University.
