Protestors in Hong Kong have vowed to push ahead with a rally on Sunday,... despite the government's announcement to suspend a controversial bill... that will allow extradition of Hong Kong residents to mainland China.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said on Saturday,... that the bill would be delayed indefinitely,... but protest leaders urged Lam to resign,... permanently scrap the plan... and apologize for the use of excessive force by the police last Wednesday.
Critics argue the passage of the extradition bill... would undermine the independence of Hong Kong's legal system... and put its citizens and foreign nationals at risk.
Over the past week,... hundreds of thousands marched to protest the bill,... sparking some of the worst violence Hong Kong has seen in years.
