London [UK], June 5 (ANI): In order to commemorate the Tiananmen Square Massacre that occurred on June 4, 1989, several protesters gathered outside the Chinese embassy in London on Monday.
During the protests, the UK director of World Uyghur Congress, Rahima Mahmut delivered a powerful speech to commemorate the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
"Tonight at Trafalgar Square, our Executive Director, @MahmutRahima, delivered a powerful speech to commemorate the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre," the official handle of 'Stop Uyghur Genocide', the UK based campaign to defend Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in China tweeted on Monday.

The protesters marched towards the Chinese Embassy, joining Hongkongers, Tibetans, and all those who resist against the Chinese government.

The demonstrations of Tiananmen started on April 15, 1989 when Chinese students gathered in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, where many student and mass demonstrations had taken place since the early 20th century, to mark the death of the popular pro-reform Chinese leader Hu Yaobang.
On June 3 and 4, the People's Liberation Army stormed the square with tanks, crushing the protests with terrible human costs. Estimates of the numbers killed vary. The Chinese Communist Party stated that the injuries exceeded 3,000 and over 200 individuals, including 36 university students, were killed that night. (ANI)
