One of the organisers of the annual vigil remembering Beijing's deadly Tiananmen Square crackdown has been released on bail.

Hong Kong activist Chow Hang Tung has been released on bail, a day after she was detained on suspicion of promoting an unauthorised assembly to commemorate the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown on pro-democracy activists in Beijing.

"There’s no logic in that. It's a completely absurd charge complete abuse of power. I reject all the allegation,” she told reporters outside the police station. "I want to tell all who participated in this suppression of the Tiananmen remembrance event this year...don't hide behind the technical provision of the public order ordinance anymore," Ms Chow said.

Friday saw the authorities sealing off Victoria Park, site of the world's largest Tiananmen vigils for more than three decades, to enforce a ban on the annual assembly for a second year due to coronavirus restrictions.

Hong Kong police cordon off annual Tiananmen vigil site and arrest organiser on anniversaryHong Kong closed off a park where tens of thousands gather annually to commemorate China’s 1989 Tiananmen crackdown and arrested the vigil’s organiser, in what activists see as suppression of one of the city’s main symbols of democratic hope. False Funny that sbs didn't even report that the 32 year statement from Bob Hawke about tanks crushing students was a COMPLETE FABRICATION, yet a lie that was allowed to live on for 30 years. And he knew it was false shortly after but never said so.. Mmmm Lol... is this a joke ? Western democracies are cracking down harshly on all critics of their regimes and suppressing and objections... but we have to really worry about China ?

Crowds in Hong Kong hold candlelight vigil for Tiananmen Square protests in defiance of banHundreds gather near Victoria Park to mark China's crackdown on protesters at Tiananmen Square, after a vigil organiser was arrested. you guys do realise the Chinese already have a AI like MIT is building monitoring all citizens social media running system called 'social credits' u guys just spent 4 years telling people how bad it was now u expect they will forget it & accept it from our own governments ? :P Disturbing that the Tiananmen Square Massacre is being called a ‘Crackdown’ on ABC News. This language was used in regard to the Hong Kong protests as well and is totally inappropriate, unless you call murdering citizens a crackdown - implies that it was justified.
