| Subject: Tiananmen Square massacre: 180,000 attend Hong Kong candlelight vigil to mark 25th anniversary Wed Jun 04, 2014 8:34 pm | |
| Tens of thousands gathered at an impassioned rally in central Hong Kong to mark the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown, amid a vigorous security operation on the streets and online in mainland China to block mention of the milestone.
Organisers of the annual candlelight vigil at Victoria Park said more than 180,000 participated – a record turnout – while police estimated 99,500 attendees.
Video tributes were played in honour of those arrested in recent weeks in the mainland for trying to commemorate the anniversary, including rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang, journalist Gao Yu, and academic Xu Youyu, who all face several years imprisonment if convicted of the various charges they are accused of.
