Government Representative Refuses to discuss the Annual June 4th Massacre Vigil in District Council
The annual June 4th Vigil and the annual July 1st protest have not yet been approved by the police and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD).
The Wan Chai District Council discussed the two events' arrangements on May 19. Lee Cheuk-yan, chairman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, was invited to explain, but District Officer Rick Chan Tin Chu, representing the government, repeatedly interrupted his speech. Chan insisted that Lee's speech had deviated from the "arrangement" matters.
Lee said “I am talking about 'arrangement' in every sentence," and refuted that "the application has nothing to do with the arrangements". However, the government representative refused to listen and pulled the entire team away.

Hongkongers Show Their Aspiration for Freedom on June 4th
A June 4th candlelight vigil in memory of the victims of the 1989 Tianamen Massacre had been held annually in Hong Kong; however, this year the authorities opposed the event for the first time.
In the wake of forced implementation of the National Security Law by Beijing, Hongkongers insist to commemorate those who had fought for freedom and stood up for justice in human history.

Regression of Human Rights: Hong Kong Police Accuse 26 Pro-democracy Activists of Participating in "Unlawful Assembly" on Memorial Day of Tiananman Massacre
In 2020, the Hong Kong government banned the annual vigil for the June 4th Tiananmen Massacre for the first time.
The Hong Kong Alliance still held a memorial at Hong Kong's Victoria Park last year. A number of pro-democracy activists, including the Alliance chairman Cheuk-yan Lee, former secretary-general of Demosistō Joshua Wong, and former chairman of Demosistō Nathan Law, were charged with “participating in unlawful assembly knowingly”.
The case which was supposed to be trialed on Feb 5, 2021 at a District Court was transferred to the West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts, due to the large number of the accused.
Among the accused, Jimmy Lai, Joshua Wong, and Chi-wai Wu were already on remand or serving sentences in jail.
After an arrest warrant was issued, Nathan Law and Sunny Cheung both announced that they were in exile.
Before the court hearing started, chairman of the Alliance, Cheuk-yan Lee said, "it is Hongkongers' right to take part in the vigil on June 4, and no one should be guilty." He criticised the government of overriding Hong Kong’s law by the #NationalSecurityLaw and that it is a regression of human rights in Hong Kong.

#JoshuaWong: Don't Let the World Change Us
In almost 2 years since the Anti-ELAB movement broke out in 2019, Hong Kong's representative figures of the pro-democracy "resistance" camp are either in jail or in exile.
Among them, former lawmaker #EddieChu, former journalist #GywnethHo, district councillors #LesterShum and #TiffanyYuen have been detained and denied bail since late February 2021. They are among the 47 pro-democracy activists arrested for joining the primary election in 2020.
Former chair of #Demisisto #NathanLaw and former spokesman for the Hong Kong Higher Institutions International Affairs Delegation (#HKIAD) #SunnyCheung have to sever ties with their family in Hong Kong and live in exile.
On March 30, 2021, district councillor #JannelleLeung and activist Joshua Wong, alongside Shum and Yuen, were trialed for taking part in an "unauthorised assembly" on #June4 in Victoria Park in 2020.
They were among 24 pro-democracy figures who were charged for participating in the annual candlelight vigil to commemorate the victims of the 1989 #TiananmenSquareMassacre in Beijing. The vigil was for the first time banned by the Hong Kong police in 2020. It is still uncertain that whether the annual rally could be held in 2021.
The four pro-democracy activists admitted to joining the rally and were remanded in custody. In the courtroom, Joshua Wong yelled, "Even if we cannot change the world, don't let the world change us."
The 24-year-old Wong is currently serving his sentence for surrounding the police headquarters during the #AntiELAB protest, while being additionally charged with other offences connecting to the primary election and June 4th #vigil.

Hong Kong Restaurant Gives Free #Candles On the Eve of #June4 Commemoration Day
On June 3, 2021, the restaurant Villa Villa Cafe & Bar, located in North Point, Hong Kong, placed boxes of candle for customers and passersby to take.
The annual candlelight vigil in commemoration of the June 4th #TiananmenMassacre has been banned by the Hong Kong police for the second year. The organizer who had been holding the #vigil in #VictoriaPark since 1990 called on Hongkongers to commemorate the pro-democracy victims of the brutal crackdown by the CCP "in each of their own way".
In their facebook page on June 2, 2021, Villa Villa Cafe & Bar wrote that they "made a wrong order of birthday candles". The restaurant welcomed fellow citizens to take them for free. The remaining candles would be donated to a church nearby.
The person-in-charge of the restaurant Mr Tse told InMedia that "everything's in the heart".

Shop in Hong Kong Distributes Candles In Commemoration of 32 year-mark of #June4 #TianamenMassacre
The pro-democracy kidswear store #Chickeeduck is giving out free candles from June 2 to June 4, 2021, encouraging fellow citizens to commemorate the June 4th Tiananmen Massacre on their own.
The Tsuen Wan branch has prepared 1,000 sets of candle. The store also has electric candle that writes "Support the Tiananmen Mother" to give away. The storekeeper said they came from a Tsuen Wan district councillor.
When the Tsuen Wan branch of Chickeeduck was inaugurated in May 2021, the store was raided by the national security police. When asked whether they were afraid the same thing would happen, the storekeeper said, "we are not worried, we have been following the procedures."
The Hong Kong Police has for the second year in a row banned the annual candlelight vigil commemorating the victims of Chinese Communist Party's brutal crackdown on the pro-democracy rallies at Beijing's #TiananmenSquare in 1989.

7,000-strong #Police Deployment to Suppress Annual #TiananmenMassacre #Vigil in Hong Kong
32 years ago on June 4, 1989, in Beijing, the #ChineseCommunistParty government ordered a bloody crackdown on pro-democracy civilians on the Tiananmen Square. The military used tanks and fired live rounds, brutally killing and injuring countless civilians in the PRC's capital.
2021 marks 32 years after the Massacre which is still denied by the #CCP.
After cordonning off Victoria Park, the city's largest park in the urban area and the venue for the annual Tiananmen Massacre #CandlelightVigil at around 14:00, the Hong Kong police at 17:28 blocked all three cross-harbour tunnels by setting up road block and intercepting vehicles, resulting in huge traffic chaos.
Uncannily, today the streets of Hong Kong see at least two police armoured tanks and one water cannon vehicle, to suppress the commemorative event that the police has already banned.

Unafraid: Hongkongers Insist on Remembering CCP's Brutal Crackdown on June 4, 1989
Despite the police's massive suppression of the annual #TiananmenMassacre #CandleLight #Vigil, Hong Kong citizens persevered to commemorate the victims of the #ChineseCommunistParty's brutal crackdown on June 4, 1989.
Although the Hong Kong police cordoned off Victoria Park at 2pm, some citizens showed up at 5pm.
One held a candle that writes "support Tiananmen's Mothers"; one brought white flowers to pay tribute; one displayed today's Epoch Times, headlining the police's suppression of the vigil; another one showed an 32-year-old edition of China-funded Ta Kung Pao, mocking the newspaper's change of narrative towards the Tiananmen Massacre.

On June 4, 2021, a number of Catholic churches in Hong Kong held memorial masses for the June 4 Tiananmen Massacre committed by the Chinese Communist Party government in Beijing 32 years ago.
Long queues appeared in all seven churches across the city where masses were held.
For instance, Shatin's St. Benedict Church was filled to capacity by 7:45pm. At least 20 citizens waited outside. For those who could not enter the venue, the church posted up a QR code to a live stream of the mass, held by the outspoken cardinal Joseph Zen.
Tsuen Wan's SS. Cosmas & Damian Catholic Church was already full by 7pm. Citizens who waited outside followed the mass on live stream, and held up candles or cell phone lights in memory of the massacre.
