thunderstorm and torrential rain to commemorate the 24th anniversary of 1989 Tiananmen
Massacre in 2013.
The annual June 4 vigil at Victoria Park for the 33rd anniversary this year has been banned
by the Hong Kong Police for the third consecutive year.

180,000 Joined 30th June 4 Vigil in 2019
A sea of light illuminated Victoria Park in Hong Kong.
180,000 gathered at the annual candlelight vigil to commemorate the 30th anniversary
of the June 4 Tiananmen Massacre of 1989 in Beijing.
Turnout was at record high despite pouring rain before and being snubbed by college
students who are severing ties with China.
For over 3 decades, tens of thousands have gathered annually on June 4 in Hong Kong's
Victoria Park, lighting candles and singing songs to commemorate the victims of
the bloody 1989 massacre on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
Organisers said 110,000-180,000 participated in the vigil each year between 2013-2019.
But the tradition is vanishing in Hong Kong after the police banned the annual vigil starting
2020, citing pandemic-related prevention measures. That year, over 10,000 defied the ban and
entered Victoria Park to join the vigil, undaunted by at least 20 police vans deployed nearby.
