HONG KONG -- Access to an online museum set up to memorialize victims of the Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989 was restricted in Hong Kong on Wednesday.

While the city government made no statement about the move, attempts by Nikkei Asia to access the offshore-based site using several local networks failed.
