The Chinese Communist Party cracked down on several protesters in Hong Kong over the weekend for commemorating the Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989.
Commemorating those killed by the regime in Tiananmen Square was a tradition in democratic Hong Kong. That all changed when the Chinese Communists took over.

This is so sad. The leader of a Hong Kong democracy group that held vigils for decades was arrested by the regime.

Translated: Four arrestees were accused of “incitement” and “misconduct” by the police. Who are they? What have you done?
