While the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (HKASPD) is still negotiating with the police on the organization of the June 4 march and candlelight vigil, there are rumors in the Hong Kong media that the Chinese Communist authorities will stop the event with unprecedented forcefulness, and the mourning may be qualified as an illegal assembly, and the participants will be considered not in line with the “patriot The participants will be deemed not to meet the criteria of “patriots” and even have their political careers cut short from now on.
Under the control of the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law and the “patriots rule Hong Kong” gate, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (HKASPDMC) will be caught in a minefield when it plans to hold the June 4 rally this year. According to HK01, Beijing will handle the issue with an unprecedentedly strong hand this year, qualifying those who participated in the Alliance’s Victoria Park candlelight memorial service as not meeting the criteria of “patriots,” and will not be able to run for District Councils and the Legislative Council in the future, and incumbent District Council members will be disqualified without having to wait for the court to pronounce a conviction.
As to why participation in the “June 4” memorial activities will probably be regarded as not in line with the “patriot” principle, the source explained that because the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of the platform contains “to end one-party dictatorship”. The source explained that because the platform of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China includes “ending one-party dictatorship,” which is in conflict with the Constitution and even the crime of subversion of state power in the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law, it is difficult for people who participate in the relevant activities to cut.
In an interview with the media this month, Secretary of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China Tsoi Yiu-cheong stressed that the Alliance would not change its platform of “ending one-party dictatorship” and that the issue of “June 4” would not disappear in Hong Kong either.
Since 1989, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China has held a candlelight memorial rally in Victoria Park every year on June 4, and last year it was banned for the first time due to the epidemic, but the Alliance and some democrats still showed up at Victoria Park on that day.
Therefore, last year to participate in the “June 4” candlelight vigil of the former secretary-general of the Hong Kong House of Representatives Huang Zhifeng, Tsuen Wan District Councilor Shum Aohui, Southern District Councilor Yuen Ka Wai and Kwun Tong District Councilor Leung Kai Ching and other people have been arrested this year, and on the 6th of this month, the court sentenced to 4 to 10 months in prison. There are comments that the Hong Kong government deliberately chose May sentencing, in order to deter this year’s “June 4” march and rally.
The news pointed out that, in view of last year’s “candlelight mourning June 4” activities throughout Hong Kong, the Hong Kong police will be “strict law enforcement” this year, if the evening’s mourning activities are said to constitute an illegal assembly, in addition to the event leader and politicians will become the target of arrest and charges The police will also arrest and prosecute other participants present.
In an interview on the 16th, Cai Yaochang said that no matter what adversity they face, Hong Kong people must use their own strength and way to express their determination not to forget the June 4 Incident. He said that on the day of the “June 4”, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China will be held in Victoria Park in the morning to commemorate the 4 June event, the end of the Liaison Office, due to restrictions on the gathering, the runners are divided into groups of four people to start.
The Vice Chairman of the Alliance, Zou Xingtong, said a few days ago that even if the police opposed the rally, they could not oppose her to take to the streets, and she would insist on going to Victoria Park to light candles to mourn.
