HONG KONG -- A record number of people here gathered on a muggy Tuesday night to commemorate the 30th anniversary of China's suppression of unarmed protesters at Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989, marking the milestone amid a debate on local extradition law.
The annual candlelight vigil at Victoria Park drew over 180,000 people this year, according to the organizer, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China. This number ties with the peak year of 2014.
