London rally for Tiananmen crackdown anniversary outside China embassy

Description

People gather in London to commemorate the 35th anniversary of China's deadly crackdown at Tiananmen Square, when troops and tanks forcibly dispersed peaceful protests on June 4, 1989, quelling huge, weeks-long demonstrations demanding greater political freedoms. "We cannot forget this day," a speaker tells the crowd. Decades on, China still censors any mention of the crackdown. IMAGES
