Not the OP, but it's possible that the reason was that (according to Wikipedia) the protests began on April 15 1989, so the anniversary was pretty recently.

It's been used as a comparison with some photos of the nurses counter-protesting the stay-at-home protests on some social media sites.

I'm not suggesting they are comparable, just that one evoked images of the other. Might be why it's being posted?
