Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam is set to announce a formal withdrawal of the contentious extradition bill... that stirred up three months of political unrest across the city.
That's according to South China Morning Post on Wednesday which, citing sources,... reported of the impending decision to completely scrap the bill.
The controversial bill would have allowed China to arrest and extradite Hong Kong dissidents to the mainland.
After widespread protests,... Lam initially announced the bill would be suspended,... saying it was "dead."
However, protesters have fought for a full withdrawal,... along with other demands to protect the rule of law and the "one-country, two-system" framework.
