A Hong Kong think tank has canceled the release of its annual public opinion survey on the 1989 deadly military crackdown on student-led pro-democracy protests at Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute was due to release online on Tuesday its "June 4th Anniversary Survey Report."
The survey has been carried out every year for 30 years, canvassing city residents.
Questions included whether people thought the Chinese government responded correctly to the student protests.
Those who responded negatively always outnumbered those who supported the move.
The institute disclosed on Tuesday it decided to cancel its release "in response to suggestions from relevant government department after their risk assessment."
The institute was raided by police in 2020 for supporting primary elections aimed at selecting pro-democracy candidates to run in Hong Kong's Legislative Council elections.
