唐恩光曾组织香港年度六四烛光集会,如今在同事因违反国家安全法遭判重刑、集会被禁的困难环境下,仍以私人方式坚持纪念1989年天安门事件。1李卓人和周庭因组织集会被裁定违反北京施加的国安法,面临最高10年监禁。1支持这些集会的香港联盟也被判有罪,法官认定其成员煽动他人推翻中共领导。1
当局的压力不断升级。2020年,港府以新冠疫情为由禁止年度烛光集会,数周后北京实施国安法。1唐恩光、周庭等核心成员因拒绝提供信息,于2023年各被判处4个半月监禁。1香港联盟于2021年投票解散,大学校园内纪念天安门事件的雕像和浮雕被拆除。1
即便如此,唐恩光未曾放弃记忆这一敏感历史事件。在狱中期间,他曾在六四35周年纪念日赤脚跑了35圈,以此方式进行纪念。1
A former organizer of Hong Kong's annual Tiananmen vigil is persisting in privately commemorating the 1989 crackdown despite mounting legal consequences for activists in the territory.1 Two of his former colleagues were convicted on Friday of violating Beijing-imposed national security legislation and face up to 10 years in prison.1 The Hong Kong Alliance, the organization that orchestrated the vigil for decades, was also found guilty, with the court determining that its members incited others to overthrow Communist Party rule.1
The crackdown on commemorative activities intensified following 2020, when authorities banned the annual candlelight vigil citing COVID-19 restrictions, with Beijing implementing a sweeping national security law weeks later.1 The alliance voted to disband in 2021, and memorial statues and reliefs on university campuses were subsequently removed.1 Key activists, including the former organizer, each served four and a half months in prison in 2023 after refusing to provide information to authorities.1 During his incarceration, which coincided with the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen crackdown, the organizer ran barefoot 35 laps as a personal act of remembrance.1
