Chinese Police Patrols Hong Kong To Enforce Tiananmen Square Massacre Vigil Ban

Written by on June 4, 2022

Hong Kong authorities deployed a large number of police personnel on Saturday to enforce a ban on any vigil to commemorate the Tianenman Square Massacre that took place in Chinese capital Beijing on 3-4 June 1989 in which thousands of civilians were killed by Chinese soldiers.

The vigil at Hong Kong's Victoria Park was disallowed for the third consecutive year. For decades, Hong Kong and nearby Macao were the only places in China allowed to commemorate the Tianenman Square Massacre in which Chinese military suppressed student protesters demanding greater democracy.
