People gather at Tiananmen Square during a pro-democracy protest in Beijing in June 1989.

“I can’t be silent. If people tell me to keep silent, I won’t,” said office worker Daisy Lam, 52, who has attended nearly every vigil since June 4, 1989, with her children. Mainland and Hong Kong authorities reject criticism of the security legislation and insist the city’s high degree of autonomy will remain intact under a “one country, two systems” formula.

Despite the ban, online forums and the organiser of the vigil have called on people to light candles to remember those who perished.
