Hong Kong bans Tiananmen commemoration for second year on COVID-19 concerns

The Hong Kong government says that for the second year running, it won't allow a mass vigil to commemorate the crackdown on the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing. 

The government says it can't approve the gathering due to COVID-19 health risks. 

Democracy campaigners say the virus is being used as an excuse to suppress the event.
