Hong Kong Tiananmen Incident memorial rally first disapproval National security legislation ahead of time June 1 21:38
31 years ago in 1989, the Tiananmen Incident in Beijing, China. Under the "One Country, Two System," a civil society held a rally every year on June 4th, when an incident occurred in Hong Kong, but the Hong Kong police announced that it would not permit the event for the first time. I put it out. Civic groups point out that they were anticipating the introduction of a "national security legislation" to crack down on anti-government activities in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, civic groups hold annual meetings to mourn the victims and seek the truth in line with the day of the Tiananmen case where the movement of students seeking democracy was suppressed by force, and last year it was announced by the organizer. Everyone participated.
However, at the meeting this time, Hong Kong police announced on the 1st that it would not be allowed to hold the event for the first time, as it was to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.
Regarding the Tiananmen Incident, it is taboo in the mainland China to speak publicly, but in Hong Kong, memorial meetings and demonstrations have been accepted under the "one country, two system".
But last month, China decided to introduce a "national security legislation" to crack down on anti-governmental activities in Hong Kong, and civic groups fear that such gatherings will be cracked down next year.
Citizens' representative Takuto Lee said, "It's strange that the school and karaoke are all reopened, but we can't just do the rally. The Hong Kong government bans the rally as if it preempted the future National Security Law." I am accusing myself. "
The organization decides to hold a rally on the web using the Internet that evening.
