Tiananmen's Legacy: 35 Years of Censorship and Remembrance

Hong Kong police briefly detained performance artist Sanmu Chen on the eve of the 35th anniversary of China's Tiananmen Square crackdown, highlighting the region's diminishing freedom of expression. The annual vigil in Victoria Park has been suppressed under a national security law imposed by Beijing in 2020, which critics argue has eroded promised freedoms. The law has led to the disbanding of the vigil's organizing group and the arrest of several pro-democracy activists.
