Hong Kong’s nightmare gets darker
At China’s behest, the city says people can now be charged retroactively for crimes that didn’t exist when they allegedly committed them. https://t.co/6ZbtebQPbr
The 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre is a historical memory that the CCP can never erase; the people's pursuit of freedom and dignity will never be extinguished.
We look forward to the day when the Chinese people truly enjoy freedom.
Let's face the facts: either Sikhs should not be allowed to carry kirpans — the very blades that killed Henry Nowak — or the public should be able to carry knives, since the current law is clearly not working.
Justice must be applied equally to all.
Back in 2022: Chinese Communist students at UQ tried to cover our pro-Hong Kong wall with their community association posters so we tore them all down and built a massive Tiananmen mural
Today is 37 years since the Tiananmen Massacre
On this day in 1989, the Chinese Communist Party ordered the People's Liberation Army to open fire on its own citizens.
Peaceful pro-democracy students and workers who gathered in Beijing's Tiananmen Square demanding freedom, anti-corruption, and basic human rights were crushed under tanks and gunfire.
The protests began in mid-April 1989, triggered by the death of reformist leader Hu Yaobang. On May 13, students began a hunger strike. Martial law was declared on May 20, but protesters remained peaceful.
In the early hours of June 4, troops advanced with tanks and live ammunition. Soldiers fired on unarmed civilians blocking their path in the streets surrounding the square.
Hundreds to thousands were killed. Thousands more were imprisoned, tortured, or disappeared.
To this day, the Chinese government censors all mention of it, erases it from history books, and threatens anyone who remembers.
