CCP never changes TiananmenSquareMassacre
TiananmenVigil held for 30 years in a row shown the perseverance of Hong Kong people in seeking the vindication of 1989 pro-democracy movement. In our mind; no one can be forgotten！ Stop erase !
It is now the darkest age of Hong Kong in the last 31 years or more. Please StandWithHongKong
Robot Lam has given up her powers to CCP & used unreasonable ban on social gatherings when there is no local cases to ban protests or pro-democracy ppl's gatherings including that for anniversary of Tiananmen Square event. It will be worse after passing National Security Law.
For 30 years, the Tiananmen mothers couldn’t even mourn their lost children properly. Can you imagine the pain? 30 years!!!! Evil CCP
hhhkkk852 Never forget, never forgive
hong kong is in a critical position now, when freedom is being taken away and we have to constantly live in fear, revolution is no longer a choice but a responsibility, please StandwithHongKong china would do anything to shut the opposing voices hongkongneedshelp
Distancing law? Of coz it used for silencing dissents But not for CoronaVirus onecountryonesystem
It will ban forever!
hongkongers never forget TiananmenSquareMassacre soshk standwithhk hongkongisnotchina CCPChinaJudgmentDay 1country2systems HKPoliceState neverforget cls 天安門事件 香港版国家安全法に抗議します 香港デモ hongkong
Never forget TiananmenSquareMassacre Hong Kong has been forbidden to hold memorial gathering for the first time, due to social distancing policy. But schools and offices are open meanwhile. The purpose of cancelling is obvious. We will wait CCPChinaJudgmentDay
The called off only shows the tighter control upon the passage of the NationalSecurityLaw. But Hong Kong people will not forget and Chinazi should apologize for killing the students 31 years ago. YouCantStopUs StandWithHongKong
The vigil is banned not because of social distancing measures. It is banned because China tries to limit Hongkongers' freedom as much as it can. HongKongProtests
Pandemic has been used an excuse to suppress democratic movement again . All countries can clearly see the risk that the CCP presents . This is what authoritarian regimes do. US and UK should protect HongKongers and sanction CCP and the HK gov't officials !
The Hong Kong regime finally found a good excuse to ban the Tiananmen Square vigil. When almost all schools and recreation facilities are now reopened, isn’t it obvious that the Hong Kong regime is using coronavirus as an excuse to suppress Hong Kongers?
Fight for freedom StandWithHK
8964 Never forget
OK !
Hong Kong govt, HKPolice and CCP China are using the shameless ways such as SocialDistancing rules, NationalSecurityLaw and extreme hkpolicebrutality to suppress freedom movements. It further proves that HK has lost its freedoms and human rights guaranteed in Basic Law.
When China doesn’t even allow their citizens to know or talk about the Tiananmen Square massacre, of course a vigil about it won’t be allowed, especially when China is increasing its control to HongKong currently.
It means CCP China never change. It is tyranny! StandWithHongKong hkpolicebrutality
oh boy, get ready for their riot
Excellent news
And still ButchersRuleBeijing
CCP want to arrest all HKers voice until not have any human voice 😭
Epidemic is an excuse
That could mean the degree of CCP suppressing human rights is extended to an unprecedented level.
Very sad - Hong Kong has been the only place in the world to have held TiananmenMasscre vigil, on every June 4, at the same place, for the past 30 years HK has now been mainlandized to be just another Chinese city Is this the last memory holing of the TiananmenSquareMassacre?
it is possible to be banned forever. A slogan of Tiananmen Square vigil is ‘end the one-party dictatorship’. It mean the willing to overthrow the rule of CCP, it may violate the national security law. btw, Hongkonger will never give up. We will keep commemoration.
HK is the frontline of this war to defend universal values of humanity and against Totalitarianism CCP. Free World pls join us to defend our beliefs before China rules and controls the world. StandwithHonKong freehk hongkong china
They have right to do it
CCPChina and HongKongPoliceState can ban it whatever they want, people will never forget this massacre TiananmenSquareMassacre
CCP didn't want the world remember what was happened at TiananmenSquare. But it is useless! we know the truth of TiananmenSquareMassacre
Yes, first time banned during 30 years. China said HongKong still have freedom of assembly under national security law. How believe that?
Will it be banned forever in HongKong? To a large extend, I think so.
CCP: It is time to wash away the history TiananmenSquareMassacre is 'not existed' BoycottChina
They are still shameful about it, so instead they ban it
CCP China fabricated lies on the TiananmenSquareMassacre where it massacred students overnight and accused foreign intervention, like the regime is doing now in the US protests2020. It can ban the vigil, but never the truth.
the world will never forget about June 4. You can ban the vigil, but you cant ban the strive for justice
Due to china direct interference by injecting the national security laws into Hong Kong common law system, ccp can instruct HK gov & HKPoliceTerrorists to ban TiananmenSquareMassacre vigil by all means! So-called social distancing is just a smokescreen 👎🏻 StandWithHongKong
As a HKer, I think it will never be able to come back again, if HKers and the free world turn the blind eyes on the CCPChina tyranny. The history of 8964 should be kept and protected. Pls StandWithHongKong
Our freedom is restricted by the NationalSecurityLaw . This is the proof
The puppet gov in Hong Kong said, the NationalSecueityLaw would not undermine HKers’ freedom. But, they banned the TiananmenSquareMassacre memorial in return. HK has successfully contained the coronavirus, but the gov keep using this as an excuse to suppress our freedom.
They ban the vigil, but they can’t erase the history. We never forget how CCP did to the youth at TiananmenSquareMassacre.
No safeland under chinazi. StandWithHongKong
HKpolice and HKGovernment have no idea of what made HK. They know CCPChina only.
hk ppl felt connected and hoped for a better china before. but this has be worn off by CCPChina clamping down on hk’s freedom over the years and ppl have learned that there is no way to change CCPChina ppl are only fighting to preserve what’s left of the old hk.
CCPChina and HKGov has taken HKers’ freedom of assembly!
30 years passed. The massive slaughtering in Tiananmen Square lead by CCP is not forgotten by people around the world. The crimes committed by China revealed why we need to stand together and ring-fencing it as much as we can.
No matter Tiananmen, Coronavirus or human rights in Hong Kong, CCP never admit their fault. standwithHongKong
That's the so called 2nd largest economic system, CCPChina even can't tolerate a activity that held for more than 30 yrs, WHAT A FRAGILE COUNTRY!
It is not a surprise under “one country one system”
Its clearly CCP wants to show her muscle in Hong Kong which use Wuhan virus concern as a decoy. June 4 is historically a peacful vigil which social distancing can be enforced . StandWithHongKong
To make it worse, it wouldn't be the last time.
Its clearly CCP wants to show her muscle in Hong Kong which the concern is Wuhan virus is invalid. June 4 is historically a peacful vigil which social distancing can be enforced . StandWithHongKong
While our government previously said that national security law won’t ban any legal assembly including the Tiananmen Square one...that is why we always say CCP cant be trusted
It’s time to break the CCP hegemony. Later is too late.
That's the start of it... Totalitarianism here we come...
Wow
never trust the rinky dinks
