Hong Kong police detained one of the organisers of the annual vigil commemorating Beijing s deadly Tiananmen Square crackdown, as authorities sought to prevent any show of pro-democracy people power on Friday s sensitive anniversary.
About 7,000 officers have been placed on standby to stamp out any attempt to hold a mass candlelight vigil that Hong Kongers have attended in their thousands each anniversary for the past three decades.
The first arrest came early Friday morning when lawyer Chow Hang-tung, one of the few remaining prominent democracy activists not already in jail or in exile, was detained by four police officers outside her work.
