The Hong Kong Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement began in June 2019 in response to a proposed bill that would allow extradition from Hong Kong to mainland China. Protesters were concerned the bill threatened Hong Kong's independent legal system and could be used to target political dissidents. Large demonstrations took place demanding the bill be withdrawn and that the government address protesters' other demands, including an independent investigation into police brutality. After months of protests, Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam formally withdrew the extradition bill in September 2019, though protests continued regarding the government's handling of the situation.
