Tomorrow marks the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre. With the currently enforced gathering ban and the sceptre of the National Security Law continuously looming over the city, the annual June 4 vigil was banned by the police this year.

Despite the ban, netizens called on the public to uphold the "candle-lit" tradition with those detained in Lai Chi Kok Detention Centre today.
