Hong Kong Legislature Formally Withdraws Bill That Sparked Protests

Hong Kong's Legislative Council officially withdrew a controversial extradition bill that would have allowed China to extradite suspects from Hong Kong. Initially introduced in April, the bill faced massive public opposition, leading to its suspension by leader Carrie Lam. Despite the suspension, protesters demanded a formal withdrawal to prevent future legislative fast-tracking. Lam complied, but official steps were needed for the withdrawal. Protesters continue to demand universal suffrage, an independent inquiry into police conduct, amnesty for arrested protesters, and an end to labeling demonstrations as riots.
