A Hong Kong museum commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen protests was closed three days after opening by the ruling Communist Party of China.
A Tiananmen museum in Hong Kong was closed just three days after opening by the Chinese Communist Party after an investigation began on whether it had the licenses to conduct public exhibitions, the Associated Press reported.
Hong Kong was the last place in Chinese territory where the violent 1989 crackdown on protests in Beijing's Tiananmen Square was marked with candlelight vigils, among other events.Artifacts recovered from the scene of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, including bullets, are displayed at the June 4 Museum in Hong Kong on April 26, 2019. The museum, which opened at its new location in the Kowloon district in Hong Kong on April 26, exhibits items related to the event.
