Hong Kong police arrest pro-democracy activist on Tiananmen Square anniversary

Police questioned people in the streets and Alexandra Wong and at least seven others were detained

Hong Kong police have detained a prominent pro-democracy activist and at least seven others on the 34th anniversary of the bloody Tiananmen Square crackdown in China.

For years, Hong Kongers would converge on the city’s Victoria Park and its surrounding neighbourhood to commemorate the events of 4 June 1989, taking part in candlelight vigils.
