Hong Kong: Activist Joshua Wong freed from jail

Hong Kong’s most prominent student activist Joshua Wong has called for the resignation of leader Carrie Lam, after walking free from prison.

22 year old Wong became the face of the 2014 pro-democracy protests which called for the city to pick its own leaders.

People in Hong Kong were on the street to protest a controversial bill which allows extradition to mainland China.

Organisers say more than two million people rallied against it on Sunday, while police put the figure at 338,000 despite the bill being suspended by ms lam on Saturday.

Critics have said the legislation would expose people in Hong Kong to China’s deeply flawed justice system and lead to further erosion of the city’s judicial independence.

Organisers say protests will continue until the bill is scrapped altogether.
