HONG KONG - Hong Kong's leader Thursday urged pro-democracy protesters to end their demonstrations after her surprise decision to bow to one of their key demands was condemned as too little, too late.
On Wednesday evening Lam released a video message saying she was scrapping the bill entirely, a key demand of protesters. She renewed her appeal for protesters to enter into a dialogue with her administration and called on moderate protesters to abandon their more militant allies who have frequently clashed with riot police over the last 14 weeks.
At a "citizens press conference" on Wednesday evening - a useful gauge of the youth-led wing on the frontlines at rallies - an unidentified woman wearing a mask and helmet rejected the concession. More moderate pan-democrat lawmakers have also rejected the concession and even some pro-establishment figures within Lam's camp have said the bill withdrawal will not do enough to curb public anger.
