What are the Hong Kong protests about?

by admin

– The Hong Kong anti-extradition bill protests started in June 2019, when the HK government attempted to push forward a controversial extradition law that would have permitted authorities to arrest people and send them to face trial in mainland China.

Despite a series of massive protests against the bill, which many feared the mainland authority would use arbitrary reasons to arrest political activists, the HK government refused to retract the law and answered to protesters’ demands. What was a peaceful mobilization slowly escalated into scattered occupation movements, while the police crackdown turned to more violent means to besiege, suppress and arrest the protesters ” explains chan kasim
