Thousands of protestors marched in Hong Kong on Sunday,... as part of annual demonstrations demanding China be held responsible for its deadlly crackdown in Tiananmen Square in 1989.
The protest came ahead of the 30-year anniversary of the pro-democracy protest that ended in bloodshed.
Demonstrators carried a black coffin,... while others held yellow umbrellas reading "Support Freedom, Oppose Evil Laws."
Hundreds, if not thousands were killed late on June 3 and in the early hours of June 4, 1989 as a result of the martial action.
Commemorations of the event are prohibited in mainland China.
