Thousands gathered in Hong Kong's Victoria Park to mark the 26th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown. The vigil, attended by 135,000 people according to organizers, was the first major event after Hong Kong's own pro-democracy protests last year, which ended due to Beijing's refusal to allow genuine democratic reforms. Some student groups chose not to participate in the vigil, instead organizing their own events to emphasize the importance of focusing on democracy in Hong Kong rather than China's issues.
