Around 3000 people gathered in Taipei City in Taiwan, on Wednesday to mark the 36th anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.


A candlelight vigil was hosted by the New School for Democracy.

According to reports, the vigil was held close to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei, with the theme "Resist Transnational Repression, Defy Totalitarianism."

At around 8:00 p.m., the organizer announced that around 3,000 people had attended the event, which featured brief speeches by human rights activists from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and other countries, reported Focus Taiwan.

During the vigil, participants observed 64 seconds of silence at around 8:30 p.m. to mourn those who lost their lives in the crackdown.

Wu Renhua, a Chinese scholar and survivor of the massacre, told Focus Taiwan: "At that moment, I knelt in front of the bodies and wept. In my heart, I kept telling myself: never forget."

Hongkongers in Taipei held a separate candlelight vigil at 228 Peace Memorial Park with 100 people attending it.
