Hong Kong Police to Crack Down on Tiananmen Square Anniversary Protests
On the upcoming anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown, thousands of Hong Kong police officers will be patrolling the streets to prevent unauthorized gatherings.
The sources say that the officers will be stationed in high-risk locations and set up roadblocks and conduct stop-and-search checks.
The Victoria Park, where the annual commemorative candlelight vigil used to take place, will have increased security measures, according to an insider.
The pro-Beijing groups are organizing a carnival in the park over the weekend.
The government has urged people to celebrate the June 4 anniversary peacefully and not to engage in any unauthorized assembly.
The authorities have been cracking down on dissent in the city, and the security measures are seen as a way to prevent any potential protests.
In the past, the candlelight vigil in Victoria Park has been a major event for the pro-democracy protesters.
The authorities have been trying to prevent it from happening, but the organizers have been successful in holding the vigil every year.
This year, with the increased security measures and the carnival being held in the park, the pro-democracy groups have announced that they will not hold the vigil.
They say that the government is not allowing them to hold the vigil peacefully and that the authorities are trying to suppress the event.
The police have said that they will enforce the law and maintain public order during the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.
They have also urged people to report any suspicious activity to the police.
The Hong Kong government has been criticized by the international community for its handling of the Tiananmen Square crackdown anniversary.
The government has been accused of suppressing dissent and not allowing the people to peacefully commemorate the event.
The security measures taken by the government have also sparked concerns about the freedom of assembly and speech in Hong Kong.
The authorities have been accused of using excessive force against the protesters, and the international community has urged the government to respect the basic rights of the citizens.
This year's Tiananmen Square crackdown anniversary will be closely watched by the international community, as the city's autonomy and its commitment to democracy and human rights are under threat.
