The ongag 2019–20 Hong Kong protests war triggert bi the introduction o the Fugitive Offenders anmmendment bill bi the Hong Kong govrenment.

This led tae concerns that the bill wad subject Hong Kong residents an veesitors tae the legal seestem o mainland Cheenae, an unnerminin Hong Kong's autonomy an infringin ceevil leeberties.
