HONG KONG: Thousands of people protested in Hong Kong on Sunday against a government plan to change extradition laws, fearing an erosion of personal freedom and the city’s status as an international business hub.
The Hong Kong government proposal, announced in February, would grant the city’s leader executive power to send fugitives to jurisdictions not covered by existing arrangements, including Mainland China and Taiwan.
Protest organizers said 12,000 people took the streets on Sunday, while police estimated the crowd at 5,200 at its peak.
