Select Committee. The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party “will hold a press conference to commemorate the legacy of Tiananmen Square and highlight the courage of dissidents and pro-democracy advocates in China today. The event will be held on Wednesday, June 4 at 2 P.M. on the Capitol Triangle. Members will give remarks on Tiananmen Square’s historic anniversary, legacy, and the courage of those pushing for democracy in China.”
VOC. At 8:00 p.m. on June 4, 2025, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation will hold a candlelight vigil “at the Victims of Communism Memorial to honor the legacy of the brave individuals who stood for freedom at our annual Tiananmen Square Massacre….
“Every year, VOC commemorates what happened on June 4, 1989, when the Chinese Communist Party crushed a massive pro-democracy movement by sending tanks into Tiananmen Square. Beijing has since erased all mention of June 4 from its history. We still do not know the death toll.” The memorial is located at the corners of New Jersey Avenue NW and Massachusetts Avenue NW.
Starting in 2020, Hong Kong authorities banned what had been an annual candlelight vigil in Hong Kong to remember the victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
