HONG KONG (AP) \u2014 Several thousand people have marched through downtown Hong Kong in memory of the bloody crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.<\/p>\n

The demonstrators marched from a large park to Hong Kong government headquarters on Sunday afternoon. A separate group continued on to the Chinese central government\u2019s liaison office.<\/p>\n

They renewed their long-standing demand for China\u2019s Communist Party to overturn its official verdict that the protests that ended in bloodshed on the night of June 4, 1989, were a \u201ccounterrevolutionary riot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twenty-five years later, Beijing still has not given an official account of the crackdown on the protests, which killed hundreds, if not more. The topic remains taboo in mainland China.<\/p>\n

Broadcaster RTHK reported that police said up to 1,900 people took part in Sunday\u2019s march, while organizers estimated 3,000.<\/p>\n
