Hong Kong “Participated in the Tiananmen Incident Memorial Meeting” Indicted 24 democrats and activists August 7 at 6:31 pm

Twenty-four people, including democrats, were charged with attending a memorial rally in the Tiananmen case in Hong Kong this June.

After the enforcement of the Hong Kong National Security Act, democratic activists have been arrested and prosecuted one after another, accelerating the tightening of political activities.

According to police in Hong Kong, a total of 24 people including the democratic activist Mr. Huang Yong, representative of the civil group Lee Taku and representatives of the democracy are allowed around the memorial meeting of the Tiananmen case held on June 4th. He was charged with participating in a meeting that was not done.

The rally is held every year by a civil society in Hong Kong to mourn the victims of the Tiananmen case, where the movement of students seeking democratization in Beijing 31 years ago in 1989 was suppressed by force. Shio did not allow the event to be held for the first time due to the prevention of new coronavirus infection, but the park at the venue attracted more than several thousand citizens.

Regarding the indictment, a civil society organization that has organized the rally until now said, "The rally and the demonstration are citizens' rights recognized in Hong Kong, and police are trying to extinguish the memorial ruse by using infection control measures. Are not afraid of crackdowns."

After the enactment of the National Security Maintenance Law of Hong Kong, which enforces anti-governmental measures in late June, the arrest and prosecution of democratic activists and members of the parliament have continued, accelerating the tightening of political activities.
