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.
