Amid protests, Hong Kong's pro-extradition secretary for justice Teresa Cheng to travel to China
Published on: Monday 15 July 2019
Hong Kong's secretary for justice, Teresa Cheng, will travel to Beijing on Wednesday, the city government said, as protests in the Asian financial centre against an extradition bill she had supported showed no sign of easing.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam has said the controversial bill "is dead", but protesters say nothing short of a full withdrawal will do and have called for officials, including Lam and Cheng, to step down.
