Hongkongers in Nottingham gather in remembrance of Pro-democracy protests at home

On the eve of Chinese New Year (January 30), around 400 Hongkongers in Nottingham came together to tell people in UK about China's tyranny in Hong Kong, arresting and silencing dissidents.

A miniature of the Pillar of Shame, a sculpture made to honour victims of Tiananmen Square Massacre in Beijing on June 4, 1989, was shown in the gathering and street stalls were set up to show how citizens in Hong Kong rose to protest for democracy and freedom in past several years.
