On May 29, 2022 in Hong Kong, the League of Social Justice, a pro-democracy group, organized a street booth in Causeway Bay. It was eve of the 33th anniversary of the 1989 #TiananmenMassacre.
Despite political suppression, the group displayed a black cloth, mourning the loss of the freedom of expression in Hong Kong.
The chairperson #ChanPoYing revealed that they originally prepared a banner that read "release all the political prisoners" and "power to the people".
However, one day ago, a pro-democracy radio station was fined by the authorities for "displaying unauthorized slogans". This made the League of Social Justice showcase only a black cloth.
