Security in Beijing is tight around Tiananmen Square on Tuesday as China marks 35 years since the bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protests that killed hundreds, if not thousands
Checkpoints and rows of police vehicles lined a major road leading to Beijing's Tiananmen Square as China heightened security on the 35th anniversary of a bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protests. China has long quashed any memory of the killings, when the Chinese government ordered in the army to end the months-long protests and uphold Communist rule.
Hundreds, if not thousands are believed to have been killed in an operation that started the night of June 3 through the following morning. Across China, the event remains a sensitive and taboo subject that is heavily censored, and any mention or reference on social media are erased. Hundreds of tourists lined the streets leading to gates to enter Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.
