Hong Kong, June 1 (ANI): For the second straight year, Hong Kong police have cited public health risks from the COVID-19 pandemic to ban the annual Tiananmen vigil held on June 4. Despite this, many people are determined to hold it one way or the other.
The annual vigil is observed to remember the thousands killed when Chinese soldiers cracked down on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing on June 4, 1989.
Since the imposition of the draconian national security law last year that bans acts of subversion, secession, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces, concerns have mounted that organisers and attendees of the vigil risk being held in breach of the law, reported South China Morning Post (SCMP).
