Groups mark massacre with warningTIANANMEN SQUARE: Taiwan should let the perpetrators of the massacre know that it remembers, as Hong Kong’s annual vigil has been banned, the DPP’s Fan Yun saidBy Lin Chia-nan / Staff reporterHuman rights advocates yesterday cautioned the global community against China’s expanding totalitarianism in Hong Kong and elsewhere, as they marked the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The New School for Democracy held a forum attended by lawmakers, academics and human rights advocates. Remembering the massacre in Taiwan is meaningful, as it protects Taiwan’s democracy and resists China’s expanding totalitarianism, he said. While Beijing hopes that people will forget the atrocity, Taiwanese should continue to remind people that tanks ran over democracy activists, students and citizens in the massacre, Chen said. The Chinese Communist Party is now extending its violence to Hong Kong, he said, adding that this could also happen in other parts of the world.
