Protests against the controversial extradition law showed no signs of abating as thousands of people took to the streets in Hong Kong on Sunday. Chanting "Free Hong Kong", demonstrators streamed through a popular shopping district. Hong Kong has seen violent protests for the past month, sparked by proposed extradition law that would have allowed suspects to be sent to mainland China to face trial. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam suspended the bill and apologised for how it was handled, but protesters want it to be formally withdrawn.
