Protests against amendments that could allow authorities in Hong Kong to extradite people to mainland China are expected to grow this weekend.
May 3 (UPI) — Protests against amendments that could allow authorities in Hong Kong to extradite people to mainland China are expected to grow this weekend, following rallies on Sunday in the city, amid strong pushback from Hong Kong’s top bureaucrats.
Politicians in semi-autonomous Hong Kong who say the reforms are to prevent the city from becoming a sanctuary for fugitives are determined to ratify the changes, the Financial Times reports.
„The government will try very hard to solve the dispute and allow the amendment to pass,“ said Carrie Lam, Hong Kong’s chief executive.
