No vigils: Hong Kong’s Victoria Park silent on Tiananmen crackdown anniversary
Hong Kong’s Victoria Park, once a site for annual candlelight vigils commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, is now silent on the anniversary due to the Hong Kong National Security Law and pandemic restrictions. Pro-China events replace the vigils, and local media avoid mentioning the massacre.
