Hong Kong, China, Jun 17, 2019 / 15:17 pm
Hundreds of thousands of protestors in Hong Kong are continuing to demonstrate against the government's plans to allow extraditions to mainland China- a plan which as of Saturday has been indefinitely suspended.
Carrie Lam, Hong Kong's chief executive, had introduced a bill that would allow for secret arrests and extraditions to mainland China, where Communist courts would try alleged criminals.
The legislation drew widespread protest and was placed on hold, but protests have continued, calling for Lam's resignation.
Catholic leaders are speaking out in support of the protestors and calling for peace and dialogue.
