What was the Extradition Bill between China and Hong Kong?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

A bill that allowed Hong Kong to detain and transfer people wanted in other countries with which it has no formal extradition agreements.

Explanation:

Extradition is the action of deporting a person convicted or accused of a crime.

The reason this finally came about was because a Hong Kong man killed his pregnant girlfriend in Taiwan and then returned to Hong Kong. He admitted he killed her but no charges could be given because it happened in another country and no laws about that were in place.
