On the evening of June 3, hundreds of people gathered at Portsmouth Square in San Francisco to hold a candlelight vigil in memory of the pro-democracy movement that occurred in China 36 years ago.
On June 4, 1989, in what is now known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) deployed large numbers of troops and tanks to violently suppress students who were participating in pro-democracy protests at Tiananmen Square. The communist regime subsequently covered up the number of deaths and injuries.
