June 4: Tiananmen Square Protests of 1989 Memorial Day

Tiananmen Square Protests of 1989 Memorial Day is observed worldwide every June 4, commemorating the student-led demonstrations in Beijing that culminated in the June 4 Massacre. The protests lasted for over a month, ending with the enforcement of martial law and a violent crackdown that resulted in the deaths of approximately 241 to 2,600 people and injuries to 7,000 to 10,000 others. On this day, mourning activities are organized in various countries, with Hong Kong hosting events like Vindicate 4 June and Relay the Torch. The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China also facilitates online memorials, allowing individuals to sign a Condolence Book for the victims, which is later burned in front of the statue of democracy. This memorial day serves to ensure that the events and the lives lost during the protests are not forgotten.
