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.

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.

“This is an attitude problem with the police”: Intern Journalist Fined for Gathering Ban
Earlier, an intern journalist of Stand News was issued a fine ticket due to violations of the gathering ban (Cap. 599G). When tried to explain her identity, the police asked for a valid accreditation from the Hong Kong Journalists’ Association, which was simply absent due to the journalist being an intern.
Ronson Chan, a senior journalist in Hong Kong, expressed his bewilderedness to the event. “There is a problem with the [police's] attitude during law enforcement.” he said.
“The Hong Kong Police Force announced that they didn’t recognise those documents anymore. Why are they asking for them again?” He noticed the officers involved belonged to the Police Tactical Unit. “Their training were mainly physical, and may not be equipped with adequate knowledge on the matter.” He went on to state it is important to know which team these officers belong to in order to follow up the case.

Hong Kong Artists Use Creative Means to Remember June 4 Tiananmen Massacre
Part 1:
Although the Hong Kong Police banned the annual candlelight vigil on the 32nd anniversary of #TiananmenMassacre on June 4, 2021, the cordons cannot put out the flames of remembrance.
Many artists and performers in Hong Kong held memorials in their own ways, keeping the memories of the truth alive.
Political cartoonist #ZunZi continued his 32-year tradition of drawing a June 4-themed cartoon, despite the threat of #NationalSecurityLaw.
"Considering the situation this year, it doesn't matter if anyone else is speaking up about [June 4]," he says, referring to how much satire he intended to put into this year's comic. "I need to draw more!"
