Across the world today, the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre is being remembered. In Hong Kong (pictured), thousands gather for a vigil each year in the city's Victoria Park to mark the events of June 4, 1989. On that date, pro-democracy protesters — who gathered peacefully for weeks in Beijing's Tiananmen Square to call for greater political freedom — were killed in a government crackdown. Due to government censorship in China, the exact number of protesters killed is still unknown.
