HONG KONG: Thousands of people were gathering in Hong Kong on Sunday to protest against a proposed extradition law that would allow suspects to be sent to China to face trial, with police bracing for the biggest march in the city in 15 years.
Lam has tweaked the proposals but has refused to withdraw the bull, saying it is vital to plug a long-standing"loophole".The crowd included young families pushing babies in prams as well as the elderly braving the 32 degree Celsius heat. The marchers will slowly make their way through the crowded Causeway Bay and Wanchai shopping and residential districts to Hong Kong's parliament, where debates will start on Wednesday into government's amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance.
Whether in business, politics or social and religious groups, opponents of the plan say they deeply question the fairness and transparency of the Chinese court system and worry about security forces contriving charges.
