People in Taiwan have marked the 1989 deadly military crackdown on student-led pro-democracy protests at Beijing&#039;s Tiananmen Square amid Chinese moves to prevent any commemorations of the incident.
                
Civilians, including members of civic and human rights groups, converged at a Taipei square on Sunday to remember the tragedy.
                
Participants in the annual gathering arranged candle-shaped lights in the number &quot;8964,&quot; which stands for June 4, 1989, when the crackdown unfolded. They also observed silence for 64 seconds from 8:09 p.m.
                
Organizers placed at the venue a replica of the &quot;Pillar of Shame&quot; statue, a column of anguished faces and twisted torsos of Tiananmen victims.
                
The 8-meter-tall original sculpture had stood on the University of Hong Kong&#039;s campus and served as a venue for an annual commemoration of the crackdown.
                
But the university removed the monument in December 2021 amid a wave of arrests in Hong Kong under the territory&#039;s national security law that authorities use to suppress activities they deem anti-government. Police seized the original last month.
                
The Taipei event was organized by a non-profit group called the New School for Democracy.
                
Its chairman Tseng Chien-yuan said civil society in China, including Hong Kong, has vanished completely. He added that he feels responsibility as Taiwan has become the only place in the Chinese-speaking world to hold remembrance events for the Tiananmen crackdown.
                
People in China regard publicly discussing the crackdown as taboo amid the authorities&#039; efforts to stifle any criticism of the Chinese Communist Party and the government over the incident.
