Lam promises work to narrow Hong Kong rifts, no specifics
HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong’s leader said Tuesday she’s immediately setting up a “communication platform” to narrow differences in the city after months of anti-government protests.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam also said the city’s police watchdog will carry out a fact-finding study of the protests and related incidents as it looks into 174 complaints about police behavior.
The movement held a massive but peaceful rally on Sunday after earlier protests had been marked by violence. The government has conditioned dialogue on the leaderless protest movement remaining peaceful.
