Hong Kong to mark Tiananmen anniversary with huge vigil

AFP – More than 100,000 people are expected to attend a candlelight vigil on Tuesday in Hong Kong, the only Chinese city to openly mark the 24th anniversary of the bloody crackdown in Tiananmen Square. Residents of the former British colony gather each year at the city’s Victoria Park to commemorate Tiananmen anniversary

US lawmakers and activists called Monday on President Barack Obama to speak firmly on human rights when he meets his Chinese counterpart, 24 years after Beijing crushed protests in Tiananmen Square. President Xi Jinping heads to California on Friday for his first talks with Obama since assuming office.
