This is the old flame HK Alliance used to advertise the #June4 candlelight vigil it held in #HongKong for 30 years. HK Alliance's been shut down, its leaders imprisoned, & the vigil banned since 2020, but HKers around the world take up the flame & continue to #FightForFreedom. https://t.co/ZkHT5vfP2P
