TIANANMEN MASSACRE 32ND ANNIVERSARY

Today marks the 32nd anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre. 32 years ago, the Chinese Army moved on students peaceful gathering in the symbolic Tiananmen Square in Beijing.

In the space of a night, hundreds(if not thousands) of protesters were killed, and one of the last pro-democracy movements of mainland China was shunned.

In memory of this massacre, every year, vigils are held across the world, from Taiwan to Hong Kong. China severely bans any commemoration on its territory, and for the 2nd time in a row, Tiananmen Massacre vigils are being banned in Hong Kong.

Today, people around the world raise candles to help the Chinese who cannot do, to show that no one can silence history.We light candles in the UK because unity can defeat any super-power.we light the candles to show that those brave students did not die in vain: the struggle for freedom must go on, in China as elsewhere.

If you can’t attend a vigil (and even if you can) post it on social media, to remember the Tiananmen Square massacre, and let more people know that CCP needs to be overthrown.
