HK Police Arrest #GrannyWong
for "participating in unauthorized assembly" ALONE


On Sunday, May 30, 2021, Granny Wong was arrested by the police at around 15:19 in Wan Chai for "participating in unauthorized assembly".

Granny Wong was alone when the police surrounded and took her away by a police vechicle near the police headquarters.

Earlier, some pro-democracy group in Hong Kong had filed a protest authorization request for May 30, 2021 to commemorate the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacre and condemn the Chinese Communist Party for the brutal crackdown.

The protest, alongside the annual candlelight vigil that has been taking place in Hong Kong's Victoria Park since 1990, was rejected by the Hong Kong police.

On the day, police continued to stop and search passers-by near Southampton Playground in Wan Chai, which is part of the protest route supposedly.

Pro-democracy Activists Reopen June 4th Commemorative Museum in Hong Kong

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.

Hostile Banners Seen outside Churches in Hong Kong, Smearing June 4 Memorial Masses and Warning of National Security Breach

Tomorrow, June 4, 2021, marks 32 years after June 4th Tiananmen Massacre, a brutal crackdown on pro-democracy civilians by the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing, in 1989.

In Hong Kong, the annual candlelight vig has been banned by the police. Despite that, the Justice and Peace Commission of the Hong Kong Catholic Diocese will continue to organize a Mass outside their seven churches in the evening.

However, on the morning of June 3, 2021, some hostile banners with words "Cult invades religion" were placed outside the churches, smearing the mass as a potential breach of the #NationalSecurityLaw.

Porson Chan, project officer of the Commission, responded that they had no intention to correlate the false accusations on the banner to the June 4 Mass, emphasizing that the Mass is a legal religious activity protected by Basic Law. Thus the event would be held as scheduled.

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.

2 Years Since the Fatal Fall of the Yellow Raincoat Man

June 15, 2021 marks two years since the 35-year-old "Yellow Raincoat Man" Marco Leung used his death to protest against extradition to China and warn Hongkongers of the threat of the tyrannical regime.

It was in 2019, on the eve of the second rally called forth by the Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF), Leung chanted pro-democracy slogans and unfurled banners in protest of the government's undemocratic acts in a shopping mall in Admiralty.

On the day in 2021, Hongkongers of different ages commemorated Leung near the shopping mall, despite the threat of the authorities.

Familiar faces like #GrannyWong and convenor of #StudentPoliticism #WongYatChin were also present among the crowd.
