Hong Kong's leader, Chief Executive Carrie Lam, said Saturday she has suspended indefinitely a proposed extradition bill that sparked the city's biggest public protests in years.
"People in Hong Kong want a relatively peaceful and calm environment," Lam told reporters. She said it was time "for responsible government to restore as quickly as possible this calmness in society."
Lam told reporters she took the move in response to widespread public unhappiness over the measure, which would enable authorities to send some suspects to stand trial in courts in mainland China.
Many in the former British colony worry the measure would further erode cherished legal protections and freedoms. Lam said the government would study the matter further, for the "greatest interest of Hong Kong."
"After repeated internal deliberations over the last two days, I now announce that the government has decided to suspend the legislative amendment exercise," Lam said.
