32nd anniversary of Tiananmen

[edit]
  • Can't find the part of the Apple Daily article that supports legal experts have said that gatherings and mournings alone would not constitute a breach (last clause of lede)
  • Speaking on a radio program in response, Richard Tsoi, the Hong Kong Alliance secretary, said Tian's comments are not based on clear legal grounds and questioned their representativeness. [...] "I hope as a legal scholar, Tian can support his remarks with clear legal analysis." "Beijing-loyal scholar fuels call to outlaw Hong Kong Alliance"
  • [Alliance committee member] Lo said the event should not pose any legal risks, "unless it is a crime in today's Hong Kong to speak about facts, history and the truth." [...] On Saturday, the Appeal Board...upheld the police ban on the annual June 4 candlelight vigil at Victoria Park, citing risks of COVID-19 infection [...] Richard Tsoi, vice chair of the Hong Kong Alliance, said...[t]he exhibition took place on private premises so it was exempt from the prohibition on group gatherings [...] Tsoi said he believed the exhibition to be within legal bounds, but admitted it was hard to predict whether the authorities would crack down on it."June 4 museum to host photo exhibition after police ban vigil"

34th anniversary

[edit]

I don't remember which article it is, but it shames Johnny Lee (one of the HK legislators) and Peter Law (judge in charge of the NatSec Law case) with their own words.

On June 2, 2023, Zhou Fengsuo (AP misspelled his name lol but CNN didn't), one of the student leaders of the Tiananmen protests, opened in New York a spiritual successor to the banned Hong Kong memorial exhibits.[1]

Eight arrested[by whom?] in Hong Kong on eve of anniversary. Book ban. Increased police presence. Victoria Park vigil replaced by celebration of 1997 handover.[2]

List of Hong Kong national security cases, pretty much. It talks about Elizabeth Tang (see relevant subsection of the list). In terms of the Alliance, it had this to say: "Three former organizers of Hong Kong's annual vigil in remembrance of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown on pro-democracy protests were jailed Saturday for 4 1/2 months for failing to provide authorities with information on the group under a national security law. [paragraph break] Chow Hang-tung, Tang Ngok-kwan and Tsui Hon-kwong were arrested in 2021...and were found guilty last week". Group denies being a foreign agent.[3]

Memorials now in "Taipei, London, New York and Berlin" following HK ban. Police stop and search at Victoria Park. Grandma Wong reappears. I think this is an updated figure to the eight, perhaps including those arrested on the day of (and perhaps the following day, the piece is dated 5 June 2023). "Ahead of the anniversary, senior officials in Hong Kong warned people to abide by the national security law but refused to clarify if commemoration activities were illegal under the legislation." "Three leaders of the group that used to organise the vigil were charged with subversion under the law" (formatting mine). This and one of the above pieces repeats statements by various NGOs like Human Rights Watch, Tiananmen Mothers, Amnesty International, the UN. "A shop gave away candles, while a bookstore displayed Tiananmen Square archival material. Jailed Hong Kong activist Chow Hang-tung, one of the leaders of a group called The Alliance, which used to organise the June 4 vigils, said on Facebook that she would hold a 34-hour hunger strike." "In democratically-governed Taiwan, the last remaining part of the Chinese-speaking world where the anniversary can be marked freely, hundreds attended a memorial at Taipei’s Liberty Square where a “Pillar of Shame” statue was displayed." the next paragraph could be used to illustrate how the crackdown is driving emigration from HK? "Kacey Wong, an artist who is among dozens of Hong Kong residents who have moved to Taiwan" more worldwide stuff "Vigils were also held around the world, from Japan to Australia"[4]

"sending dozens to prison for actions like holding blank pieces of paper in public" more words from Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee showing he's a coward. "Documentaries made by public broadcaster RTHK were also removed from the library catalogue. A number of independent Hong Kong media outlets have been subject to raids and arrests since the national security law came into effect, casting a chill over the city’s once-raucous media landscape." should we include WaPo's list of books?[5]

"Protests, vigils and exhibitions are planned in multiple cities around the world including in Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Europe, the United States and Canada bolstered by a growing cohort of Hong Kongers who have chosen to move overseas." tfw you read Ai Guo Wu Zui in that photo, man... also the headline for this piece is very evocative and beautiful. Well done. This piece also more explicitly names Wang Dang (dissident) one of the NY exhibit organizers. "Zhou said the idea to create a New York exhibition began five years ago but the closure of Hong Kong’s own June 4 museum by authorities in 2021 “added to the urgency”. "a fair put on by patriotic pro-government associations to celebrate Hong Kong’s handover to China – an anniversary that is more than three weeks away". "Richard Tsoi, former secretary for the now-defunct Hong Kong Alliance, said he planned to commemorate the event either at home or at a private location. "Many Hong Kongers have left for overseas with the city’s population dropping from 7.41 million to 7.29 million last year."[6]

Takes from the same AP wire as the Al Jazeera piece and at least one other. Additional security around Tiananmen Square, including restrictions for the press. "uses colonial-era anti-sedition laws to crack down on dissent". "Sunday's events reflected the political chill that has sparked a rise in emigration to Britain and other countries and a deep ambivalence among a population that had been strongly engaged in local politics." signs of resistance: "Chan Po-ying, leader of the League of Social Democrats, held an LED candle in one hand and two yellow paper flowers in another." and "Wong said an artist friend, Sanmu Chen, had been detained along with others while attempting to stage a public street performance in Causeway Bay in Hong Kong." "shopping district Causeway Bay, where Victoria Park is located."[7]
