Hong Kong protesters breach government building

After a long siege the protesters in Hong Kong have breached a government building.

The police did not move against them despite threats.

The protesters are mostly peaceful.

The extradition bill they are protesting against has been indefinitely suspended.

Extradition paused

The Hong Kong government has suspended its highly controversial plan to allow extraditions to mainland China, Chief Executive Carrie Lam has announced.

The protests have had an effect.

This is not the end of the bill, just a pause to think, but it might be the pause the protesters need to get their case heard.

Hong Kong protests

There have been huge protests in Hong Kong against extradition.

A new law that is going to pass would allow extradition to China of Hong Kong criminals and even foreign nationals travelling through there.

This is yet more in the fight for Hong Kong to retain its independence from China.

Their protests have born fruit in the past, let’s hope they do again.

This law would be a terrible thing for Hong Kong.
