During a townhall meeting with Chief Executive of Hong Kong Thursday night, attendees called for Lam to step down from her post due to her mishandling of the increasingly violent protests in Hong Kong.
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Carrie Lam, broke her silence on Thursday night to attend a two-hour town hall in an effort to defuse the tension that has mounted in recent months.
The meeting, which took place at Queen Elizabeth Stadium, allowed 150 people, selected by lottery, to make statements. The statements were overwhelmingly negative, questioning why Lam has failed to hold police officers accountable for abuses against protesters, and the handling of the situation in general.
Others highlighted their fear and concern that the city is no longer safe. One individual voiced her disappointment, highlighting that good leaders don't"cause society to tear apart."
