The UN expressed its “concern” about the arrests made in Hong Kong of people commemorating the 34th anniversary of the bloody repression in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, with the China to answer that the financial center is moving from “chaos” to prosperity.
His police Hong Kong announced that it arrested on Sunday 23 people for “disturbing the public peace” as did a 53-year-old woman for “obstructing police officers”on the 34th anniversary of the violent suppression of pro-democracy demonstrations in Beijing in 1989.
His High Commission UN for Human Rights requested, through a post on Twitter, the release of all those arrested for “exercising their right to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly”.
For its part, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out in a statement that “Today, Hong Kong is moving from chaos to stability and prosperity by following the right path of the principle of “one country, two systems”.
“Foreign powers”, including the US, should abide by international law and stop Hong Kong’s “futile political manipulation” aimed at containing China, a ministry spokesman said.
For more than 30 years, tens of thousands of people have gathered each year in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park for a candlelight vigil in memory of the Tiananmen victims.
But in 2020, Beijing imposed a national security law on the former British colony to silence dissent, following the giant pro-democracy protests of 2019. Hong Kong authorities have since put an end to the vigils, which had never been allowed in mainland China.
Hundreds of police were stopping and checking people near Victoria Park, while armored vehicles were deployed in the area.
Hong Kong activists say the police actions are part of a broader campaign by China to suppress any dissenting voice in the city, which Beijing has promised freedoms for 50 years under its “one country, two systems” model. when it was handed over to China in 1997 by Britain.
