About 600 people marched silently from a Hong Kong park to government headquarters today to mark the 19th anniversary of China’s bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing's Tiananmen Square.

Hundreds of people today demonstrated against Hong Kong leader Tung Chee-hwa, fearing that he will appoint allies to local councils to offset the pro-government party’s losses at last month’s polls.

THE watering down of reviled anti-subversion laws by Hong Kong’s government has done little to allay concerns, pro-democracy groups said yesterday, calling for the legislation to be postponed.

HUNDREDS of thousands of people marched in protest at anti-subversion legislation that many in this former British colony fear could erode political freedom six years after its return to Chinese rule.
