TLDR: Because of #TiananmenMassacre, #HongKong has never fully trusted #CCP, fearing that the promise of #democracy will never be realized and our way of life and #freedom will be crushed in the most brutal way. The violent crackdown of 2019's democratic movement and the arbitrary imposition of #nationalsecuritylaw are pretty much our worst nightmare come true.

While an older generation of #HongKongers commemorated #Tiananmen because they felt that those in #Beijing were kin, a young generation of #HKers, many born after 1989, have different reasons to remember the massacre. Instead of feeling bonded by blood to the #Chinese protesters, many "pass down the torch" of June 4th because they believe that history must be preserved, and they recognized that protesters on Tiananmen Square were fighting against the same oppressor, for the same goals - democracy.

To nobody's surprise, #HK's dim-witted puppet government is banning this year's vigil. If the #Chinese government means business about getting [...]

After 32 years, the #CCP has finally extended its claws onto the tiny island that lights candles for the victims of #TiananmenMassacre on #June4th. Indeed there were no one but the police in the vast and empty #VictoriaPark last night, but light were flickering all around Causeway Bay, all around #HongKong, and ALL OVER THE WORLD. How can this joke of a regime not realize that every time it bans something, it only gets repeated and more loudly and more widely? So well done, #XiJinping and #CarrieLam for reminding global citizens of the thing that never happened by not letting #HongKongers talk about it.

Many members of the #TiananmenMothers have passed away without seeing justice done, at the same time in the global commemorative assemblies yesterday, many school-aged children attended with their parents. The truth will live on.

Tldr: #HongKongers all over the world prove that #HongKong has not given up the #fightforfreedom!

Thank you all for showing up in 17 countries to #standwithHongKong!
Two years ago, #CCP showed us that they have no qualms about cracking down on #HK with violence. We will never forget and never forgive, they must be held accountable. In today's rallies and marches, we made sure history is remembered by holding viewings, photo exhibition and putting up Lennon Walls to tell the world about #CCP's brutality and learn about what happened in Hong Kong between June 2019-2020. We also connected with friends from #Tibet and #EastTurkestan who are oppressed by the same tyrant and marched to show our determination.

HKers in HK are subjected to harsher crackdown everyday, but so many are still keeping their faith and fighting for democracy. The world sees it and are standing with us!

Dear New Zealanders, #CCP’s justice system does the opposite of justice. 12 #HongKongers were abducted and detained for almost a year before they were taken to court for a closed trial. Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were held for 2 years as pawns for #hostagediplomacy. Protect yourselves, don’t let your people be subjected to that kind of danger and your country a loophole for ccp to manipulate!

#Genocide takes more form than the obvious mass killing (horrendous as it is), but also in other moves such as forced sterilization and abortion, and the erasure of cultural memories. Here we would like to especially call out Vince Cable, Former British MP and #LibDem leader, for denying #Uyghurgenocide.

#HongKongers will always stand with Uyghurs. As oppressed peoples, sometimes it seems that we can't do anything, but dear friends, even remembering who you are, holding on to your memories, is an act of defiance against #CCP!

#CCP has committed #humanrights abuses for 100th years. On July 1st, we had nothing to celebrate, only tragedies to share, and warnings to sound to the world. Rallies against CCP and in support of the oppressed people are held in #Belgium, #Canada, #Germany, #Japan, #Switzerland, #UK and #US. The fight for freedom is not only the struggle of #HongKongers, #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, IT IS YOURS TOO! CCP has shown how precisely it can oppress people outside of #China, in the international community, through infiltrating governments, universities and businesses. Never take #democracy for granted and stand up to the tyrant before they gag you like they gagged #HongKong, #EastTurkestan, #Tibet!

PS. HKers: It hasn't been an easy day for us, please remember that you are not alone in your pain and sorrow. If you need to take a break from the news to take care of your mental health, please do!

"Whoever controls the past controls the future, whoever controls the present controls the past." #Orwell's words are gold. The impact of the forced closure of #AppleDaily is discovered and felt everyday. #Wikipedia's principle is verifiability, not the truth, so use it with care esp. when #Chinese netizens are pushing for state propaganda to be recognized as reliable news sources!

They're also trying to tip off #HongKong users to the national security?! Another way of saying that speaking the truth, or speaking at all, is a threat to the #CCP!
