Hong Kong’s most prominent student activist Joshua Wong has called for the resignation of leader Carrie Lam, after walking free from prison.
Wong became the face of the 2014 pro-democracy protests which called for the city to pick its own leaders. People in Hong Kong are again out on the streets, this time against a controversial extradition bill which allows extradition to mainland China.
Organisers say more than two million people rallied against it on Sunday. This comes despite the bill being suspended by Ms Lam on Saturday. Critics say the legislation would expose people in Hong Kong to China’s deeply flawed justice system and lead to further erosion of the city’s judicial independence.
Organisers say the protests will continue until the bill is scrapped.
