HONG KONG-CHINA-POLITICS-CRIME

Police search a man outside the Legislative Council Complex in Hong Kong late on June 11, 2019, two days after the city witnessed its largest street protest in at least 15 years as crowds massed against plans to allow extraditions to China. - Scores of Hong Kong businesses have vowed to shut on June 12 and protesters have planned another mass rally outside the city's parliament as anger builds over the government's push to allow extraditions to China. The financial hub was rocked by a huge protest march over the weekend -- the largest since the city's 1997 return to China -- as vast crowds called on authorities to scrap the Beijing-backed plan.
