Taiwan: Hong Kong's political refugees continue their fight for political freedom

FOCUS © FRANCE 24

June 4 marks the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in China. Usually, Hong Kongers take the lead in commemorating this event with massive candle light vigils. But, since China imposed its national security law in 2020, public criticism of the regime in Beijing has become dangerous. With their freedom of speech at risk, many have since fled to Taiwan. A self-imposed exile for those who hope to carry on the fight for civil liberties from across the Taiwan Strait.

Lucie Barbazanges, Adrien Simorre and Yena Lee have this report on Hong Kongers who have taken refuge in Taipei.
