On June 12th last year, the controversial Fugitive Offenders amendment bill, better known as the extradition bill, was scheduled for a second reading in Legco.
A general strike was called on the day. Thousands of protesters gathered outside the government complex to protest. At around three in the afternoon, police started dispersing the crowd, using more than 150 rounds of tear gas, beanbags and rubber bullets. It marked a turning point in the protests that, one year on, have not gone away. However the extradition bill has been shelved. But a high level of tension persists in the wake of the new national anthem law and the pending national security legislation, not forgetting the on-going Covid-19 pandemic. We talked to some Hongkongers to see how these issues have impacted them.
