The efforts of the victims of China’s bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square 33 years ago will not be forgotten, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, as Hong Kong warned against unlawful gatherings.

Police officers stand guard after announcing a closure of a part of Victoria Park, where the candlelight vigil used to be held, a day a head of the 33rd anniversary of the crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations at Beijing's Tiananmen Square, in Hong Kong, China, June 3, 2022.

“While many are no longer able to speak up themselves, we and many around the world continue to stand up on their behalf and support their peaceful efforts to promote democracy and the rights of individuals,” Blinken said. Hong Kong on Saturday deployed heavy security near Victoria Park, where people had come together for an annual vigil before the pandemic hit, as authorities blocked off main parts of the venue and warned people against illegal gatherings.

The government has banned the annual vigil since 2020,citing coronavirus restrictions. Some democracy campaigners accuse authorities of using those rules to suppress activism,which officials reject.
