There is no timeline for discussions around the bill to resume, Lam said, and she indicated it likely will not pass this year.But for the protesters, a suspension is not enough.

"I think this protest is more important than my birthday so I come here," she said. Chik Kim Ping, 65 and her husband Tse, 70, traveled from the New Territories in the north of the city to protest against the extradition bill.
