Hong kong bans ceremony for victims from tiananmen Square

Health authorities in Hong kong on Tuesday made it clear that a forsamlingsforbud, which prohibits more than groups of eight persons, be extended for 14 days.

Thus, the authorities have also prevented a marking of the anniversary of the chinese military crackdown on unarmed pro-democracy students at tiananmen Square in Beijing.

the Crackdown happened on the night of 4. June 1989.

Last year was the selection of the 30-year anniversary marked a very strong position in Hong kong.

The former british crown colony has been the only place on chinese territory, where it has been possible to remember the students that were killed when they aktionerede at The tiananmen Square or Tiananmen Square - in Beijing.

Public discussion of what happened and of the authorities ' reactions, is strictly forbidden, and many young people have no clue about what was happening 25 years ago.

But the big mindeceremonier with tens of thousands of candles on the seats in Hong kong has been an annual event. But not this year.

An application to obtain permission to execute a ceremony of remembrance and a celebration of the anniversary has been rejected by the authorities in Hong kong with reference to the new coronavirus.

But the spread of the coronavirus in Hong kong has long been limited. There is registered about one thousand cases, and only four persons died with covid-19.

- I do not understand why the authorities do not allow political posturing, when they allow schools, restaurants and shops to stay open, " says Lee Cheuk-yan, leader of the Hong kong Alliance.

He stands behind the markers of what many call 'the Massacre on The tiananmen Square'.

He calls on the Hong kong inhabitants to light candles at home on the anniversary, so there will be lights all over the city.

Various organizations and movements estimates that anywhere from 400 to several thousands of demonstrators lost their lives, as the communist party leadership in 1989 ordered soldiers in tanks to run in and shoot at unarmed protesters tent camp at the Tiananmen Square.

Amnesty International says in a statement that the 'covid-19 must not be used as an excuse for undermining freedom of expression'.

Authorities in Hong kong should help to ensure a sound selection of anniversary date where there is an appropriate distance between participants, type menneskehedsorganisationen.

Amnesty also takes distance from the Hong kong police 'mass arrests and 'excessive force' against peaceful protesters in the recent time.
