Taipei, June 4 (CNA) Thousands of people attended a vigil in Taipei Thursday to commemorate the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in China, demanding the Chinese government redress the wrongs of the incident.

The vigil, which expressed support for democracy in Hong Kong and China, was held at Freedom Square in front of the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.
