HONG KONG -- Political tensions in Hong Kong remain high even after the city's top leader on Saturday suspended legislative debate on a proposed extradition bill that would allow suspects to be handed over to mainland Chinese authorities for prosecution. The decision followed a week of mass rallies and protests that devolved into violent clashes with police using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds.
Another rally against the bill is taking place on Sunday to demand a total withdrawal of the controversial legislation and the resignation of Chief Executive Carrie Lam, who promoted the bill, and denouncing what organizers say was the use of excessive police force.
