What the petition asks
The Hong Kong Government has proposed a bill to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, which will allow the Government to extradite fugitive offenders to countries or regions without Extradition Agreements with Hong Kong, including the rest of the People’s Republic of China.
The Bill will remove the legislature’s power to scruntise extradition arrangements, thereby centralising the decision-making to the executives. The controversial Bill would also allow the authorities in the People’s Republic of China to arrest people in Hong Kong, or even confiscate their properties by issuing Extradition Requests to the Hong Kong Government.
