A great privilege today, just before we began our @CPHumanRights hearing, to stand together with @timloughton, @ZhouFengSuo, Peter Humphrey and Marius Balo (who both spent years in #China's prisons), @lukedepulford and @LyndonLee16 to mark #TiananmenSquareMassacre #PillarOfShame https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1673420660721217553#m

@hkdc_us RT by @HKLiberty_Team: In at least 22 cities around the world, giant #PillarOfShame banners were displayed as part of #June4 #TiananmenMassacre commemorations. In May, the original pillar was seized by police in #HongKong. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1665684636427509760#m

R to @hkdc_us: She's the 49th person to be prosecuted for #sedition in #HongKong. Like 44 others who were charged with sedition, she's been denied bail & remanded in custody. It has been reported that the police found a large poster of the #PillarOfShame at her home. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1664574819231322112#m

This #June4, HKDC and @ngo_dei urge everyone to apply the #PillarOfShame AR filter to a well-known landmark where you live and post it on social media with a message commemorating the #TiananmenMassacre. https://www.instagram.com/ar/1250223805616054 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1664440436608364549#m

As the 34th anniversary of the #June4 #TiananmenMassacre approaches, a new #PillarOfShame's been erected & painted orange in #Berlin, after the original was seized by police in #HongKong in early May. @HongkongerV @Galschiot https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1662082392314478595#m

@theliberalfrank RT by @hk_watch: Seit heute steht der #PillarofShame in Berlin! Die Statue ist nicht nur ein Gedenken an die Opfer des Tiananmen-Massakers, sondern auch ein Symbol dafür, dass sich der Drang nach #Freiheit nicht unterdrücken lässt und die Wahrheit immer ihren Weg ans Licht findet! @axelspringer https://nitter.hongkongers.net/theliberalfrank/status/1660694983379173420#m

La police de #HongKong a saisi le « Pillar of Shame » (pilier de la honte), une statue érigée à l'université de Hong Kong pour commémorer la répression de Tiananmen en 1989.
La statue avait été déboulonnée en décembre 2021 et remisée dans un coin discret.
Rappel : pour entretenir la mémoire de #TianAnMen et de ce monument, un modèle pour impression #3D est téléchargeable ici : https://thingiverse.com/thing:5041987

R to @hkdc_us: #PillarOfShame sculptor @Galschiot has released the following statement re #HongKong national security police seizing the #TiananmenMassacre sculpture as “evidence” in an investigation. Since @HKUniversity removed it from campus in 2021, it’s been kept in an HKU storage facility. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1654457074854641669#m

The #HongKong national security police have seized the #PillarOfShame statue commemorating the #TiananmenMassacre as “evidence” in an “inciting subversion” investigation—presumably related to the trial of @zouxingtong #LeeCheukYan & #AlbertHo. https://hongkongfp.com/2023/05/05/hong-kong-national-security-police-seize-tiananmen-crackdown-statue-for-inciting-subversion-probe-reports/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1654421548541923330#m

@XinqiSu RT by @rachel_cheung1: One month to #june4, national security police seized this morning the #PillarofShame that was dismantled, boxed in a cargo container, abandoned on a rural land by @HKUniversity in Dec 2021, for “investigation of an incitement to subversion case”, local media reported per sources. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/XinqiSu/status/1654386892085903362#m

Shame on the leadership council of the #HongKong University and the authorities who decided to bring down the #PillarofShame in the dark of the night, still keeping media from reporting on this shambolic act.

#China's #CCP wants total amnesia reg. the #TiananmenMassacre. Let's all make sure that won't happen. It's the least we can do for those who lost their lives in the fight for #democracy and #civicrights.

And yes: Down with the #CCP!
