Thousands of Hong Kong residents have swarmed the streets to protest extradition laws with China.
Government officials have sought to implement laws to close loopholes caused by discrepancies in the legal systems of Hong Kong and mainland China, but anti-extradition activists say such actions would erode the city’s protected freedoms.
Extradition laws could be passed by the government later in the year, with Hong Kong’s pro-democratic camp no longer holding enough seats to block the move.
