Tens of thousands of protesters have taken part in a silent vigil to mark the 30th anniversary of the crackdown on protests in Beijing's Tiananmen Square.

Video filmed from Victoria Park shows protesters holding a candlelight vigil.

Writes the filmer: "This year has been especially relevant to the people of Hong Kong as the local government tries to force through legislation that would allow the Chinese authorities to extradite anyone in Hong Kong, foreign or local, they deem criminal."

Hong Kong and Macau are reportedly the only places in China where citizens can commemorate those killed in 1989.

Each year for the past 30 years, Hong Kong has held a vigil on June 4th commemorating the tragedy of the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989.

This year has been especially relevant to the people of Hong Kong as the local government tries to force through legislation that would allow the Chinese authorities to extradite anyone in Hong Kong, foreign or local, they deem criminal.

It was estimated that more than 150,000 people would attend the 2019 vigil.
