June 4 Vigil Organizer Says Candles Will Be Lit in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park, Defying Beijing
June 4 this year will mark the 32nd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, and it will be the first year since the Chinese regime implemented the national security law in Hong Kong. While a number of democracy activists were given jail terms for participating in last year’s peaceful Tiananmen memorial rally, one organization vowed to hold a candlelight vigil in Victoria Park next month, despite pressure from Beijing authorities.
Hang Tung Chow, a Hong Kong barrister and vice-president of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (the “Alliance”) said that candles in Victoria Park will be lit as usual regardless of whether or not they get permission from the authorities.

Pirates seize ship
“The British steamer Tungchow, which was seized by Chinese pirates, arrived in Hong Kong today. A guard was killed and another wounded, but the rest of the crew and passengers, including 70 children, were not harmed. The children said the pirates were kind and let them have as many oranges as they wanted. One lad boasted that he had eaten 17. The pirates abandoned the vessel following the approach of a British warship.”
Hunter lightning
“Two trams, a school and a house were struck by lightning during a thunderstorm in the Newcastle district yesterday. No person was injured. The Tighe’s Hill Public School suffered the most. A chimney was struck and collapsed with some of the brick landing in the street. One of the trams struck was travelling along the Wallsend line. The other was on the Waratah line. The insulating system of each tram prevented damage except to the motors.”
