Hong Kong Extradition Law

Protesters hold placards as they stage protest against the extradition law in Hong Kong, Sunday, June 9, 2019. The extradition law has aroused concerns that this legislation would undermine the city’s independent judicial system as it allows Hong Kong to hand over fugitives to the jurisdictions that the city doesn’t currently have an extradition agreement with, including mainland China, where a fair trial might not be guaranteed.
