#Beijing Attempts to Silence Consulates' June 4th Commemoration in Hong Kong
On the eve of June 4th, Beijing's foreign affairs office in Hong Kong sent warning to different consulates, asking them not to "make any gesture" on June 4, 2022.
June 4th 2022 marks the 33 year-mark of the Tiananmen Massacre in Beijing, where the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government brutally cracked down pro-democracy civilians in 1989.
Commemorative events such as candlelight vigil had been annually held in Hong Kong until the enforcement of the #NationalSecurityLaw in 2020.
Beijing's office claimed that the commemorative activities in Hong Kong were organized by "a small fraction of anti-China people with hostility towards the Chinese government". According to CCP, there is "no need to remember June 4th".
On June 4, 2022, the US consulate and the Australia consulate in Hong Kong posted the Pillar of Shame and a candlelight image on their social media platform respectively, in commemoration of the victims of the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacre. The Polish Consulate-general fearured candles in their social media post. Both the US consulate-general and the #EuropeanUnion office in Hong Kong lit candles on their windows.

At Downing Street, London on June 4th, 2022, Hongkongers and Ukrainians organized a fight against dictatorship assembly. The solidarity movement voices support for the fight for freedom across mainly Hongkongers and Ukrainians.
Exiled activist #NathanLaw, a former legislator in Hong Kong and the founder of #Demosisto, was the first guest speaker of the event. He said to the crowd, "no matter where we are from, we are all escaping from the dictatorship regime."
He said that not only Ukrainians but also Hongkongers have been following the Russian invasion news.
Carman Lau Ka-Man, a former Wong Tai Sin District Councillor in 2019, was the next one to speak, urging overseas Hongkongers to do more when they were able to and to help those in Hong Kong who are suffering in jail or under suppression.
"Perhaps 1989 seems quite long ago, but let's not forget what we did in the year of 2019."
#BenedictRoger, the founder of #HongKongWatch, brings a yellow umbrella to the event, saying the umbrella is not only for rainy weather, but also to symbolise the dignity of the people who fight for democracy and the movement against dictatorship regime.
A Ukrainian representative spoke and emphasised that Ukraine is a geographic buffer between Russia and Europe, protecting the whole Europe from Russia. She urged the world to stop using fuel supplied by Russia in order to stand with Ukraine.

#Hongkongers Defy Police Blockade and Pay Tribute to Victims of 1989 June 4 #TiananmenMassacre
At 12:30am on June 5, 2022, Victoria Park was re-opened after being sealed off since 11pm on June 3.
Tens of Hongkongers entered the park to commemorate the victims of the 1989 June 4 Tiananmrn Square Massacre.
An annual vigil had been held in Hong Kong in Victoria Park until 2020. The police blocked the park for three consecutive years.
After midnight on June 5, 2022, some civilians sat in the football pitch, participating in a non-existent vigil; some lighted up the way with their phone; some displayed a tee shirt that read "students are not rioters" on the ground; some brought with them the miniature of the Statue of the Goddess of Democracy, e-candles, flowers and handbills.
When the police tried to enter the park again, the civilians have already left.
