Erasing History in Hong Kong's Shadow The sentencing of three Tiananmen vigil activists in Hong Kong to five to seven years in jail has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from around the world.
This verdict serves as a stark reminder that Beijing's imposed national security law continues to suffocate Hong Kong's freedom, silencing its voices, and erasing its memories.
For decades, Victoria Park in Hong Kong had been a sacred space for commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. Thousands would gather annually to mourn the victims, a tradition unique in China.
