Tienanmen Anniversary
Thousands protest in a candlelight vigil in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park on the 19th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Turnout was about half of that of previous years due to the wave of nationalism and patriotic fervor sweeping across China in the wake of the international Tibet protests during the Olympic Torch Relay, and the devastating earthquake in the Sichuan province.
