The demonstrators were inflamed by the police’s use of rubber bullets, pepper spray and tear gas last week, and were not appeased on Saturday by Ms. Lam’s indefinite suspension of the extradition bill that had first sparked the protests, or by her rare apology on Sunday for her handling of the situation.

The bill’s origins: In pushing for the legislation, the government cited a murder case involving a Hong Kong couple in Taiwan, another jurisdiction with which Hong Kong has no extradition agreement. Taiwan officials, who also oppose the extradition bill, have said they will not ask for the suspect even if it passes.
