伦敦举行纪念六四24周年烛光集会

Protestors to Mark the 24th Anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre in 1989

On Tuesday the 4th of June, 7pm-9pm, around 120 protesters gathered outside the Chinese Embassy in London to commemorate victims of the Tiananmen (Beijing) Massacre in 1989. Protesters read out the names of known victims of the massacre. This year, the vigil saw more young people joining the June Fourth commemoration. Although the Chinese regime has continued to suppress the truth about what happened 24 years ago, more and more young people have started to look for the truth.

On Tuesday the 4th of June, 7pm-9pm, protestors will gather outside the Chinese Embassy in London to hold a candlelight vigil commemorating victims of the Tiananmen Massacre in 1989. Protestors will read out the names of known victims of the massacre, and mark their names on a street map of Beijing showing the places where most of these victims were killed or the hospitals to which their bodies were taken.

Several Tiananmen prisoners including Miao Deshun (苗德顺), Chen Yong (陈勇), Luan Jikui (栾吉奎), Deng Wenbin(邓文斌), Sun Guanghu(孙广虎) and Yu Rong(余蓉) are still believed to be incarcerated. Thousands of Chinese were detained after the pro-democracy movement. Some of them, after going to prison more than two decades ago, returned to activism after they were released and have been subsequently jailed, repeatedly in some cases, and are in prison today. Chinese courts have reserved some of the harshest sentences on political charges to pro-democracy advocates from the 1989 era, including Nobel laureate laureate Liu Xiaobo (刘晓波), Chen Wei (陈卫), Chen Xi (陈西), Liu Xianbin (刘贤斌), Yang Tianshui (杨天水), Xu Wanping (许万平), Zhu Yufu (朱虞夫), Xie Changfa (谢长发), Shi Tao (师涛), and Li Bifeng (李必丰). Li Wangyang (李旺阳), a worker activist in the 1989 pro-Democracy Movement, released after 22 years imprisonment, died in highly suspicious circumstances on 6 June 2012.

The Chinese regime has continued to suppress the truth about what happened 24 years ago. Activists nationwide are facing heightened restrictions on movement as police have been mobilized to prevent public memorializing of the victims and calls for accountability of the massacre.

On the 24th anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre, we repeat our demands: investigation into the truth of the massacre, prosecution of those responsible, an end to the authoritarian rule of the Chinese Communist Party, guarantee of human rights, and democratization of China!

Time: 7pm – 9pm
Location: Opposite the Chinese Embassy, 49-51 Portland Place, London W1B 1JL. Nearest tube stations: Regent's Park, Great Portland Street or Oxford Circus.

伦敦纪念六四23周年

Protestors to Mark the 23rd Anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre

On Monday the 4th of June, 8pm-10pm, around one hundred protesters gathered outside the Chinese Embassy in London to hold a candlelight vigil commemorating victims of the Tiananmen Massacre in 1989.

Protestors read out the names of known victims of the massacre, and mark their names on a street map of Beijing showing the places where most of these victims were killed or the hospitals to which their bodies were taken. The commemoration highlighted the fact that there are still people who remain in prison for participating in the 1989 protests.

The commemoration also mourned the recent death of Ya Weilin, a key member of the Tiananmen Mothers who committed suicide on 25 May at the age of 73. Mr Ya’s younger son was shot in the head by martial law troops in Beijing in the evening of 3 June 1989 and later died in the hospital. Tiananmen Mothers’ obituary states that Mr Ya ‘was in despair after enduring more than 20 years of grief without any redress and had decided to protest with his own death’.

On the 23rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre, we repeated our demands: the truth of the massacre, the prosecution of those responsible, an end to the autocratic rule of the Chinese Communist Party, the guarantee of human rights, and the democratisation of China! 调查六四真相，清算屠城罪状，结束一党专制，建设民主中国, 保障人权自由！#8964 

Time: 8pm – 10pm

Location: Opposite the Chinese Embassy, 49-51 Portland Place, London W1B 1JL. Stations: Regent's Park, Great Portland Street or Oxford Circus.

伦敦纪念六四22周年报道汇集

On the 22nd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre the coalition group Chinese, Uighur & Tibetan Solidarity UK, of which Tibet Society is a founding member, organised a series of events in London to remember the victims and renew the call for freedom and democracy for all people living under the current regime in China.Events began on Saturday 4 June with a flash mob in Trafalgar Square where the names of all 185 identified victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre were held up in silence. In addition, the names of the five people known to still be in prison for their participation in the student-led protests of 1989 were displayed.Following the flash mob activists and supporters gathered in Chinatown to listen to speeches by Jeremy Corbyn MP and survivors of the massacre.Jeremy Corbyn paid tribute to those who had lost their lives in pursuitof freedom and democracy. He said "We must now support those in China who are standing up for their beliefs and rights. Progress and freedoms come from respecting others, not at the expense of human rights.”Tiananmen survivor, Shao Jiang, reminded those gathered that, “Twenty-two years ago, the Chinese Communist Party cracked down the pro-democracy protests that began in April 1989 around the country… Today, the Chinese regime continues to quash dissents and suppress basiccivil rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom ofassociation and assembly, and freedom of religion in the name of building up a harmonious society.” (See more)
Furtherspeakers drew attention to the current situation in China, that people are being detained for expressing their political views and that 22 years after Tiananmen Chinese people still have no political freedom.
Leaflets in Chinese and English were handed out to passers-by. In the evening a vigil was held outside the Chinese Embassy. The names of all the identified victims were read out and their names held up by participants in remembrance.Demonstrations marking the anniversary were held around the world including North America, other EU countries such as France, Germany, Holland and Belgium, Australia, Japan and Taiwan (Republic of China). In Hong Kong 150,000 people gathered for a candle-lit vigil.
