Hong Kong Alliance :32nd anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown
 

They are Crazy
China that now runs Hong Kong will stop them
and Arrest them.




[Pro-democracy activist Chow Hang Tung has
been arrested by Hong Kong police on
the 32nd anniversary of the 1989
Tiananmen Square crackdown.
Ms Chow is vice chairwoman of the
Hong Kong Alliance which organises annual
vigils for victims of Beijing's deadly crackdown
on democracy protesters.
She has been arrested for promoting
unauthorised assembly.
It comes as Hong Kong has banned the vigil
for the second year running, citing coronavirus restrictions.

Police have closed off Victoria Park,
where citizens usually gather each year
to mark the anniversary.
Thousands of officers have been placed
on standby to stop any attempt to hold the event.]
