REMEMBERING TIANAMEN

Hong Kong march marks Tiananmen crackdown

The rally included a small group of mainland Chinese students, who wore T-shirts citing former Communist leader Mao Zedong: "Whoever suppresses student movements is going to have a bad ending.""I am very excited to see so many people, as this is forbidden on the mainland," said one of the students, 20, who did not want to be named.
"It shows there is hope."

Meanwhile, a Danish sculptor who flew to Hong Kong to protest the bloody crackdown was refused entry.
Jens Galschiot, whose sculpture commemorating those who died in the 1989 military crackdown, "Pillar of Shame," is displayed at Hong Kong University, was stopped by officials Saturday and sent back to Zurich, an immigration spokesman confirmed.
