The event marked 31 years since Chinese armed forces killed hundreds of protesters in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1989.“Even when the world changes, we will not change ourselves!” said Wong after the hearing before leaving the dock. The activist is currently serving two jail terms totaling almost a year and a half for protest-related charges.
