Tiananmen memorial museum in Hong Kong faces closure ahead of 25th anniversary


A planned museum dedicated to the brutal crackdown on China’s Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests has run into a legal challenge in Hong Kong, which some say is motivated by pro-China interests, ahead of the 25th anniversary of the bloodshed.

The former British colony of Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997 but remains a free-wheeling, capitalist hub whose annual candlelight vigils on June 4 set it apart from mainland China where all public commemorations are banned.
