More detentions before Tiananmen commemoration in Hong Kong.
Some time before the 35th anniversary marking the violent crackdown on student protests at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, authorities in Hong Kong apprehended an older male suspect linked to a group of six people who had been detained over the past week. Within this group was human rights advocate Chow Hang-tung, who had previously been imprisoned.
As stated by the authorities, the group had anonymously shared posts deemed "inflammatory" on a social media site and referred to an upcoming "significant date," while simultaneously propagating hatred towards the government on a continuous basis.
On the 4th of June, 1989, a bloodbath occurred at Tiananmen Square in Beijing. This was during the student protests. Hong Kong served as the only location in China where such tragic events could be commemorated for quite a while. However, in recent times, the prevention of public gatherings honoring the victims on June 4 has also become a reality in Hong Kong.
Chow Hang-tung played a crucial role in organizing an annual candlelit memorial held at Victoria Park in Hong Kong, which saw the participation of tens of thousands of individuals.
