Hong Kong Pro-democracy Trade Unions Commemorate CCP-'Suicided' #LiWangYang for Fighting Against Totalitarian Power
On June 6, 2021, the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (#HKCTU), a pro-democracy labour rights group, held a memorial for Chinese dissident Li Wangyang (1950-2012) who passed away on the day 9 years ago in 2012.
After being jailed by the Chinese authorities for 21 years, Li who had become blind and nearly deaf by then was found dead in a hospital room. The #ChineseCommunistParty (#CCP) government initially claimed that Li had "committed suicide".
Li's sudden death -- which took place just a few days after he in an interview called for the vindication of the 1989 June 4th #TiananmenMassacre -- had stirred up outcry in Hong Kong and abroad. The real cause of his death remained in the shadow.
The HKCTU organized a commemorative event to pay tribute to Li's perseverance in fighting against the regime.
#ChowHangTung, vice chairperson of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China who was arrested by the Hong Kong police on the morning of June 4, 2021, joined the memorial on bail.
Chow said, "The regime does not win even by imprisoning us. As long as we manage to reinforce the movement during the process, we are not losing."

#June9 2019: One Million Hongkongers Protest Against Extradition to China
Two years ago, at least one million Hongkongers took it to the street, opposing the government's plan to implement extradition to China.
The worst fear of the local population has been the loss of right, freedom and the rule of law in the growing presence of China.
The Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (#AntiELAB) Movement thereby began.
Two years on, freedom-loving Hongkongers have been facing unprecedented challenges upon the authorities' crackdown on #CivilSociety and #protest activities, in addition to the forceful imposition of the #NationalSecurityLaw.
Just on #June4, 2021, the Hong Kong police banned the #CandlelightVigil in commemoration of the victims of the 1989 #TiananmenMassacre for the second time. In face of suppression, Hongkongers showed the world their perseverance, creativity and solidarity to make their voice heard.

Asian artist stages 24-hr online dance to commemorate #June4 Tiananmen crackdown
A Berlin-based Asian artist Ming Poon is calling for support for a 24-hour dance run organised to commemorate the 33rd memorial of Tiananmen Massacre.
The choreographer claims that he works with dance and choreography for political actions.
His latest work, “Project June 4th”, is a reference to the day, on which the Tiananmen protests in Beijing were violently crushed by the Chinese government in 1989.
"Last year, the Tiananmen vigil group in HK was forced to disband, with activists and journalists being arrested. As someone belonging to the Chinese diaspora, I feel a duty to speak out aganist the forms of state censorship used by the Chinese authority to silence peaceful dissent, and against the systemic erasure and rewriting of its history. " Ming Poon elaborated.

Excerpted from archived news footage from Hong Kong news station #TVB, the video recorded one of the chaotic scenes of the Tiananmen Massacre near Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989.
The sound of gunfire is incessant.
Today, many youngsters in China have never heard about the June 4 massacre, due to the Chinese government's censorship.
Take a good look of this video.
Keep it.
