(The story was first published on 4 June 2015 and has been republished to mark the anniversary of the 1989 student-led Tiananmen Square protests.)
Tens of thousands of Hong Kongers joined a candlelight vigil marking the crushing of the 1989 student-led Tiananmen Square protests, an annual commemoration that takes on greater meaning for the city’s young after last autumn’s pro-democracy demonstrations sharpened their sense of unease with Beijing.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has urged China to disclose the details of people killed, detained or missing during the Tiananmen Square protests.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of unarmed protesters and onlookers were killed late on 3 June and the early hours of 4 June 1989, after China's Communist leaders ordered the military to retake Tiananmen Square from the student-led demonstrators.
