The 32nd anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests featured events in China and elsewhere on, and leading up to, 4 June 2021 – to commemorate the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, in which the government of China ordered the army to fire on protestors, killing hundreds, if not thousands, of people.[2][3]
The anniversary commemoration in 2021 in Hong Kong did not take place because the government banned it for the second year in a row under the pretext of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Amid a huge police presence across the territory,[4] the traditional venue of Victoria Park remained empty for the first time in 32 years.[5] The anniversary occurred in the wake of the national security legislation for Hong Kong enacted by Beijing's National People's Congress in May 2020. Pro-Beijing politicians warned that certain slogans habitually chanted by attendees on previous occasions, such as "end one-party rule", may violate the national security legislation,[6] although legal experts have said that gatherings and mournings alone would not breach the law.[7]
