Hong Kong Police Detain Protesters on 34th Anniversary of Tiananmen Square Massacre

China tightens access to Tiananmen Square on the anniversary of the 1989 pro-democracy protests, while Hong Kong detains activists and artists ahead of the crackdown's anniversary. The city's public commemoration this year was muted under a Beijing-imposed national security law that prosecuted or silenced many Hong Kong activists. The death toll from the 1989 violence remains unknown, and the Communist Party relentlessly harasses those who seek to keep the memory of the events alive. Human Rights Watch called on the Chinese government to acknowledge responsibility for the killing of pro-democracy protesters.
