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.

Hong Kong's Victoria Park on #June4: 2019 Vs 2021
On June 4, 2021, the Hong Konv police cordonned off Victoria Park, to suppress any memorial event of 1989 Tiananmen Massacre, a brutal crackdown still denied by the Chinese Communist Party after 32 years.
In 2019, before the police would ban the annual candlelight vigil in the following years, over 180,000 citizens gathered in the park to commemorate the victims of the pro-democracy movement and condemn the PRC's one-party totalitarian rule.

#June9 2019: One Million Hongkongers Protest Against Extradition to China
Two years ago, at least one million Hongkongers took it to the street, opposing the government's plan to implement extradition to China.
The worst fear of the local population has been the loss of right, freedom and the rule of law in the growing presence of China.
The Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (#AntiELAB) Movement thereby began.
Two years on, freedom-loving Hongkongers have been facing unprecedented challenges upon the authorities' crackdown on #CivilSociety and #protest activities, in addition to the forceful imposition of the #NationalSecurityLaw.
Just on #June4, 2021, the Hong Kong police banned the #CandlelightVigil in commemoration of the victims of the 1989 #TiananmenMassacre for the second time. In face of suppression, Hongkongers showed the world their perseverance, creativity and solidarity to make their voice heard.

Hong Kong Artist on Current Turbulent Times: "We're bringing light into darkness"
Although Hong Kong Police banned the annual candlelight vigil on this 32nd anniversary of Tiananmen Massacre, the cordons cannot put out the flames of remembrance. Many artists and performers held memorials in their own ways, keeping the memories of the truth alive.
Political cartoonist Wong Chiu-tat created an image of a burning candle, and made it available for public to use as a phone background image.
"Every time you turn it on, you light a candle," he explains the message of the art.
"In the times we're living in now, this is even more meaningful: we're bringing light into darkness."
Wong scoffs at the Hong Kong government's aggressive crackdown on the #VictoriaPark vigil, "Our candlelight had never been in Victoria park; it's in each of our hearts. No one can take it away."
