Hong Kong Police Blocks #VictoriaPark to Suppress Commemorative Events on #June4
The Hong Kong Police Force claimed on the afternoon of June 3 2022 that there were "people inciting others to conduct unauthorised activities" at Victoria Park on June 4th. As a result, the Leisure and Culture Service Department (#LCSD) announced the closure of the football pitches and some other areas in the Park from 11 pm on June 3 to 12:30 am on June 5, to prevent "unauthorised public assembly" which will "endanger public safety and public order", as well as to "reduce the risk of virus outbreak".
33 years ago on June 4, 1989, the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government sent troops to the Tiananmen Square in Beijing, wounding and killing pro-democracy protesters. An annual candlelight vigil had been held in Hong Kong until the enforcement of the #NationalSecurityLaw in 2020.

Excerpted from archived news footage from Hong Kong news station #TVB, the video recorded one of the chaotic scenes of the Tiananmen Massacre near Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989.
The sound of gunfire is incessant.
Today, many youngsters in China have never heard about the June 4 massacre, due to the Chinese government's censorship.
Take a good look of this video.

"Why? This is my duty": #June4 Banner appears in Hong Kong despite suppression
June 4, 2022 marks 33 years since the 1989 #TiananmenSquareMassacre in Beijing. At the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), a banner that read "Why? [Because] This is my duty" was displayed on a fence outside of the dormitory of New Asia College. The image and quote on the banner was taken from a BBC documentary of the Tiananmen Massacre.
The scene from the documentary, in which the student gave the quoted answer in English, can be viewed on BBC News Chinese: https://youtu.be/ExqqdUXXdgA?t=69
By 1am, however, the banner was removed after the campus security took a photo.
In addition, it was reported that a flashmob activity to "look for the Statue of the Goddess of Democracy" was briefly held at midnight on CUHK campus. Handbills that read "Missing: Goddess of Democracy" were posted around the New Asia College and the United College, but by 6am, all of them were removed by campus security.
The Statue of the Goddess of Democracy had previously been on display at CUHK for 11 years, commemorating the 1989 pro-democracy movement in China and the victims of the brutal crackdown by the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government. It was removed by the university authority without notice on Christmas eve of 2021.

At Downing Street, London on June 4th, 2022, Hongkongers and Ukrainians organized a fight against dictatorship assembly. The solidarity movement voices support for the fight for freedom across mainly Hongkongers and Ukrainians.
Exiled activist #NathanLaw, a former legislator in Hong Kong and the founder of #Demosisto, was the first guest speaker of the event. He said to the crowd, "no matter where we are from, we are all escaping from the dictatorship regime."
He said that not only Ukrainians but also Hongkongers have been following the Russian invasion news.
Carman Lau Ka-Man, a former Wong Tai Sin District Councillor in 2019, was the next one to speak, urging overseas Hongkongers to do more when they were able to and to help those in Hong Kong who are suffering in jail or under suppression.
"Perhaps 1989 seems quite long ago, but let's not forget what we did in the year of 2019."
#BenedictRoger, the founder of #HongKongWatch, brings a yellow umbrella to the event, saying the umbrella is not only for rainy weather, but also to symbolise the dignity of the people who fight for democracy and the movement against dictatorship regime.
A Ukrainian representative spoke and emphasised that Ukraine is a geographic buffer between Russia and Europe, protecting the whole Europe from Russia. She urged the world to stop using fuel supplied by Russia in order to stand with Ukraine.
