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.

Hong Kongers all over the city defy the 🇨🇳 authorities and continue lighting up "candles" tonight.
Tonight shows that Hong Kong is still full of life.
The city is far from dead. 🕯

This remarkable woman @MahmutRahima has spent the entire day translating the most harrowing testimonies imaginable. And now she is here, standing up for her people on e again. The @GOVUK should honour her courage and dignity. #TiananmenSquareMassacre 🕯

We are Hongkongers, and we fight for democracy and freedom.
We never surrender. We are never defeated.
Even though we are far from home, we believe that our endeavor will eventually pave our way home.
The dictators will be held accountable.

For more than three decades it has been a tradition for University of Hong Kong students to repaint this slogan on the bridge before the anniversary of the #TiananmenSquareMassacre. By removing this banner, the authorities have also destroyed another piece of Hong Kong’s history.

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/…

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:

All the more reason why those of us around the world who have #Freedom must publicly commemorate #TiananmenSquareMassacre tomorrow.

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？

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."

Heavy police presence in Causeway Bay on #June4, the anniversary of #TiananmenSquareMassacre. A man near Victoria Park has been surrounded by police officers for 25 mins. They have meticulously gone through everything in his bag, including every card pocket of his wallet.

Universal truth, from a group of students at the Tiananmen Square in Beijing, 1989.
No dictatorship. Democracy now.
