Citizens Gather for Vigil Despite No Approval
19:19 | #VictoriaPark
Today is the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, which happened on the 4th of June 1989. It has been estimated that thousands of lives were lost after the People's Liberation Army, under the command of the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, opened fire and rolled armoured vehicles and tanks into the square.
Despite today's vigil being one that has not been approved by the police force, people still gathered, just like what they would do on this day, every single year since '89.
Citizens also took the initiative to keep a safe distance away from each other to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Vigil Begins at Lok Fu MTR Station
19:49 | #LokFu MTR Station
Citizens have gathered outside of Lok Fu MTR Station to hold a candle light vigil in tribute to the victims of the Tiananmen Square Incident. Candles were placed to form the numbers, '64', symbolizing June 4th.
This is the first time ever in 31 years whereby the candlelight vigil to commemorate the victims of the Tiananmen Square Massacre has been disallowed and not approved.
However, citizens were encouraged to hold their own vigils. Other similar vigils very much like the one at Lok Fu, are currently being held in different parts of Hong Kong.
