Hong Kong's Carrie Lam
Withdraws Extradition Bill .
For the past three months, protesters in Hong Kong have
been demanding that a bill allowing prisoners to be
extradited to mainland China be withdrawn.
Protesters are also demanding an independent look
into police brutality and that protests stop
being characterized as "riots.".
They want the release of arrested
protesters and to implement
universal suffrage in Hong Kong.
Chief Executive of Hong Kong Carrie Lam, who previously
only suspended the bill, has finally conceded to the
first of five demands by withdrawing the bill.
Pro-Beijing lawmaker Michael Tien
thinks the decision may
have come too late.
I believe the withdrawal of
the bill ... may be too late because
this movement has become
more than the bill, Michael Tien, via CNN.
A recent recording that was leaked
to Reuters raised the question of
whether Lam would soon be resigning,
but she has since denied those rumors
