Authorities warned people not to gather to commemorate China's bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in the Square 33 years ago, as Taiwan decried efforts to erase the memories. China has never provided a full death toll, but rights groups and witnesses say the figure could run into the thousands."To remember is to resist," prominent Chinese human rights lawyer Teng Biao told Reuters from the United States.
Chinese authorities ban any public commemoration of the event on the mainland, and the Hong Kong authorities have clamped down too.
