The government announced earlier in the day that roads near the central government offices, which is next to Lam’s office, had “generally become accessible” and urged staff to return to work. Protest leaders want Lam to withdraw the extradition bill and resign from office. The dispute has attracted attention around the globe to the embarrassment of China: Beijing has blamed foreigners for provoking the protests, and urged other nations to stop getting involved in what it regards as a domestic issue.Hong Kong’s police on Monday evening softened their categorisation of June 12’s clashes with protesters near the city’s legislative building as a “riot”, which has legal ramifications.
