Carrie Lam, Hong Kong Chief Executive on Saturday said that she was suspending work on the bill that would allow some suspects to be sent for trial in mainland Chinese courts.

However, pro-democracy activists say that it is not enough. They want the proposal withdrawn and are calling for Lam to step down.

In Beijing, the communist government issued statements fully supporting Lam’s decision.

Mourners meanwhile laid flowers on Sunday on the pavement near where a man fell to his death a day earlier after hanging a protest banner on scaffolding on a shopping mall.

Emergency workers tried to cushion the man’s fall but failed to catch him.
