This year marks the 36th anniversary of the June 4 Tiananmen Square Massacre. While public commemorations in Hong Kong have been banned, many citizens continue to honor the event in subtle and varied ways.

In Causeway Bay—once the traditional site of June 4 candlelight vigils—police carried out stop-and-search operations, arresting two individuals and detaining 10 others for further investigation.
