The Anniversary That Won’t Go Away 🕯️
Hong Kong has banned the annual Tiananmen vigil in an attempt to emulate the way China has erased the memory of the event. It won’t be so easy.

6/4/1989, #TiananmenSquareMassacre
33年前的这天,我也在 #北京。那天以后,好像没有中国人敢再这样反抗了(99年4月25号 #法轮功 学员的中南海万人请愿除外)。坦克和机关枪的声音,成了北京人最深刻的、同时又被掩埋最严密的记忆。血洗天安门的恶果,这片土地可否还能还清?

2. Under #Beijing’s grip, when blank placards are regarded as subversive, w/ liberal books pulled from libraries and #TiananmenSquareMassacre censored, no #HKers can tell whether they'll be safe in the next minute. All we can do is fighting for the best & preparing for the worst

For 25 years, the soaring “Pillar of Shame” stood on the HKU campus to honor victims of the #TiananmenSquareMassacre.
#HongKong🇨🇳 removed our monument, and removed a part of our history.
The artist behind the work, @Galschiot, unveiled a replica of “Pillar of Shame” in Norway:

2. At the time when #Beijing is unilaterally imposing the draconian #NationalSecurityLaw upon #Hongkong, this year might be the last year that Hongkongers can talk about #TiananmenSquareMassacre publicly.

In Mongkok, #HKPolice is arresting #Hongkongers for commemorating the 31st anniv. of #TiananmenSquareMassacre.
This is the 1st yr that 🇨🇳#CCP & #HKGov banned #TiananmenVigil in #HongKong. HKers still go out en masse tonight, holding memorials at many locations across the city.

Wow #PLA tanks are moving into Shanghai - the city I've left behind since 1980. Is #Xitler preparing for another #TiananmenSquareMassacre against 28,517,000 Shanghai residents protesting his #Wuhan virus lockdown while they're running out of water & food? twitter.com/OldChinaBland/…

My op-ed to mark #TiananmenSquareMassacre #June4th
"We should have learned 33 years ago that a regime that turns its guns & tanks on its own people is at its very heart a brutal, inhumane & rotten tyranny that is an enemy of human liberty."

Last year, hundreds showed up at the Victoria Park, defying a ban to commemorate the #TiananmenSquareMassacre. This year, police sealed off the park, blocked cross harbour tunnels and reportedly deploy up to 7,000 officers across the city, to ensure it wouldn’t happen again.
