Authorities Ban Tiananmen Massacre Vigil for the Second Year in Hong Kong
Since 1990, Hongkongers have been organizing a candlelight vigil annually on June 4th to commemorate the victims of the Tiananmen Sqaure massacre and condemn the Chinese Communist Party for the brutal crackdown of pro-democracy citizens in 1989.
For the second year in a row, the Hong Kong police banned the June 4 vigil at Victoria Park, citing the pandemic as a reason. The authorities also banned the "lest we forget" protest planned on May 30, 2021.
The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, the vigil convenor, pointed out that commemorating June 4 is part of Hongkongers' collective memory in the past 31 years. The Alliance said that they would file an appeal.
Meanwhile, the Secretary for Security John Ka-chiu Lee insisted that any person who join, promote and announce the two events can be sentenced to jail for up to 5 years.

#NeverSurrender: Hong Kong Hospital Authorities Employees' Alliance Speaks Up for June 4 Tiananmen Massacre
On Sunday, May 30, 2021, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Employees Alliance (#HAEA) set up a street booth in Causeway Bay, calling on Honngkongers not to surrender to political suppression.
The Hong Kong police banned a protest on the day and the annual candlelight vigil commemorating the victims of the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacere in Hong Kong's Victoria Park on June 4, 2021.
Soon after the pro-democracy representatives of the medical workers' union set up their booth at around 16:30, the police intercepted them and had their personal information recorded.
The police officers stayed and monitored the booth at close range in the shoppers' district.
A black banner is displayed next to the booth. The words in white read "The Battle of Memory".

On May 30, 2021, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China reopens the June 4th Museum in Hong Kong.
Since 1990, the group has been organizing the annual candlelight vigil in Victoria Park to commemorate the victims of the Chinese Communist Party's crackdown on the pro-democracy Tiananmen Square protest in Beijing in 1989.
Despite the Hong Kong police's ban on the signature vigil for the second straight year, the Alliance organizes a photo exhibition titled " '89 Movement and Hong Kong" in the museum and called on Hongkongers to commemorate the Tiananmen Square massacre with each of the own ways, wherever they are.
The secretary for the Alliance Choi Yiu-cheong emphasizes that the Alliance would never give up the commemoration.

Hong Kong Authorities Accuse June 4th Museum of being "Unlicensed", days before Annual Commemoration of Tiananmen Massacre
[Editor's note: The June 4th Museum has been operating at its current location since moving there in April 2019. This is the first accusation of violations in the two years since.]
On the afternoon of June 1, 2021, officers from the Hong Kong government's Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (#FEHD) accused the June 4th Museum in Hong Kong of being "unlicensed".
The museum had only been reopened for three days after updating their displays over the past month, when 5 FEHD enforcement officers arrived on the premises, mere days ahead of the commemorative day of the Tiananmen Massacre.
Operated by the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, the Museum is currently running an exhibition on the theme of "The '89 Movement and Hong Kong". The museum calls on Hongkongers to commemorate the 32th anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre on June 4th, despite the police banning the annual candlelight vigil in Victoria park.
Enforcement officers claimed that licences are required for "entertainment venues" that are open to the public, and said that exhibitions are no exception. According to the Places of Public Entertainment Ordinance, offenders can face a fine of up to HK$25,000 and imprisonment for six months, and a further fine of HK$2,000 per day if the offence continues.
The officers took the personal details of the staff at the museum.

June 4, 2021 marks 32 years since the #ChineseCommunistParty government ordered the military to crack down on the pro-democracy civilians, mainly students, on Beijing's #TiananmenSquare in 1989.
The annual #CandlelightVigil held since 1990 in Hong Kong's Victoria Park has been banned for the second year by the Hong Kong Police.
At around 14:45 on June 4, 2021, the Hong Kong police cited the #PublicSecurityOrdinance and blocked six football fields, one basketball court, the central lawn and the running trail in Victoria Park.
The video captured how the police cordonned off the park's foodball field as early as at 14:00. More than 20 police vehicles and over 100 officers were also sighted near the park.
On the same day, the police has arrested two civilians, including the vice-chairperson of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, Chow Hang-tung, for allegedly promoting the commemorative event in social media.

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.
