The Chinese Communist Party cracked down on several protesters in Hong Kong over the weekend for commemorating the Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989.
Commemorating those killed by the regime in Tiananmen Square was a tradition in democratic Hong Kong. That all changed when the Chinese Communists took over.

This is so sad. The leader of a Hong Kong democracy group that held vigils for decades was arrested by the regime.
Tsui Hon-Kwong, veteran member of disbanded #HongKongAlliance – the group who hosted candlelight vigil for #June4 for three decades in HK, was taken away by police. He kept upholding his candle for #TiananmenMothers until police shut the door. https://t.co/warjN9A1TJ pic.twitter.com/5d9Fou9I2o

Translated: Four arrestees were accused of “incitement” and “misconduct” by the police. Who are they? What have you done?
