Video-conferencing app Zoom temporarily suspended the account of a group of U.S.-based Chinese activists just over a week after they used the platform to hold an event to commemorate the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.

The three-hour event, hosted on May 31 by Humanitarian China via a paid account on the video-conferencing platform, was joined by over 250 people worldwide, the activists said in a statement.
