Mabel Tung, chair of the Vancouver Society in Support of Democratic Movement, said this year her group is organizing a virtual commemoration. Tung expects there might be a bigger turnout for that, especially given the climate in Hong Kong. Watch anniversary vigils take place in Hong Kong:The vigil followed an uproar in the Hong Kong legislature after lawmakers passed a controversial bill that criminalizes disrespect of China's national anthem. "But despite the police ban, a lot of brave Hong Kong citizens still came out and expressed commemoration and hope for a democratic country," Kwok said. Kwok said with the incoming national security law, this year may mark the last year the Tiananmen Square anniversary is commemorated in Hong Kong.
