Rappel, le 4 Juin 1989.
aujourd'hui, la gentille police de Hong Kong arrêtait tout le monde, et même... n'importe qui aux alentours du Victoria Park.

"It’s extraordinary that we are talking about it 25 years on and the government is still trying to repress discussion of it." Our 2014 interview with historian of China, Jeffrey Wasserstrom. It's now 36 years on:

.remember June 4th.
There is A LOT of conflicts still going on in the world, but it's important for me to commemorate this date, as in Hong Kong I attended many memorials until it became forbodden to even mention it.

If we forget the past, we are doomed to revive it.

While #China's ghoulish CCP tries to eradicate all memories, we all know what happened on #June4th 1989 on #TiananmenSquare. And yes: We WILL keep the memory alive and honour those bright young folks murdered by the #PLA on order of #DengXiaoping.
By refusing to take responsibility for this #massacre, the CCP signals that it would do the very same thing again.

The story behind the iconic ‘Tank Man’ photo

At first, Jeff Widener was annoyed by the man entering his shot. Little did he know that he was about to make one of the most iconic photos in history.

On Sunday 2nd June around 200 people attended a vigil in Edinburgh to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Attended by speakers from Hong Kong, Tibet Solidarity and Amnesty International.
