On 1 July 2019, anti-government protesters in Hong Kong sieged, broke into, and subsequently occupied the Legislative Council Complex during the campaign to halt the enactment of the Fugitive Offenders amendment bill. Hundreds of protesters broke through the glass walls and metal doors and entered the building, then ransacked and vandalised the interior with anti-government and anti-PRC slogans. The storming is considered a watershed event in the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests; it was the most violent episode in their initial stage. Nine days later, on 9 July, the Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, announced that the extradition bill was "dead".
