A group of students from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) paid tribute to the victims of the bloody 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre by cleaning the Pillar of Shame at the school’s campus on June 4.
Charles Kwok, president of the Hong Kong University Students’ Union, expressed hope that their actions can safeguard the truth while continuing the spirit of defending the freedom of expression and pursuit of justice. Thirty-two years ago on the same day, he explained that students in Beijing took to the streets to fight for democracy but they were violently suppressed by the Chinese Communist regime.
