All Walks of Life Gathered in Front of the Chinese Embassy for a Candlelight Memorial Service of the June 4 Massacre

-- Radio Free Asia

 

 

To commemorate the 27th anniversary of the June 4 Massacre, the Independent Federation of the Chinese Students and Scholars (USA) and a number of pro-democracy groups and organizations held a candlelight memorial service on June 4 in front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC.  Please watch the report our reporter Guo Yasa sent from the scene.

 

Reporter: I am now in front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, USA.  Nearly a hundred people from all walks of life around the world are gathering here to commemorate the June 4 Massacre in 1989 with a candlelight memorial service.

 

The memorial service is hosted by the Independent Federation of the Chinese Students and Scholars (USA) and cosponsored by the Wei Jingsheng Foundation, Greater Washington Network for Democracy in China (GWNDC), Oversea Chinese Democracy Coalition, Youth Council of China Democracy Party, FOHKC_DC (Federation of Overseas Hong Kong Chinese, DC), and Rallying for Democracy.

 

The service started with a period of silence for the victims of the June 4 Massacre.  The silence was followed by opening remarks by Chen Chuangchuang, an alternative council member of the IFCSS.  He said: "I absolutely believe that we do not need to wait another 27 years to enter into the Embassy opposite to us, on behalf of the Chinese government, to have an official memorial to the students and citizens who were martyrs sacrificing their lives for freedom and democracy in China."

 

You Weijie, head of the Tiananmen Mothers group also gave a recorded speech.  It was followed by the presentation of a replica of the Goddess of Democracy statue erected in Tiananmen Square in 1989.  The sculptor Chen Weiming said in a speech: "Now as we are facing the red flag that is stained by the blood of the Chinese people, we are saying 'no' to the national terrorism by the Chinese Communist Party of China.  We want to show its tyranny to the world."  In an interview by this station, he said: "we believe that this regime does not belong to the people, because they have not been legally elected by the people, so it is illegal."

 

Gu Yi, an alternate council member of the IFCSS, introduced the significance of this candlelight memorial service during the interview by the reporter of this station: "The purpose for IFCSS to hold a candlelight memorial service is to remember the big massacre that happened in Beijing back then.  We would not forget the victims.  We denounce the perpetrators.  We announce solidarity with the legitimate demands of the bereaved families, and more importantly, we want to continue the spirit of these students of 1989."

 

At the end of the candlelight memorial service was a ceremony awarding the latest IFCSS 2016 "Spirit of Freedom Award".  Awards were given to Zhang Haitao and Guo Feixiong.  This coverage is by Radio Free Asia reporter Guo Yasa.

各界人士齐聚中国驻美使馆举行"六四"烛光追悼会

-- 自由亚洲电台报道

 

 

为了纪念"六四"事件27周年,由全美中国学生学者自治联合会主办及多个民运团体和机构协办的烛光追悼会于六月四日在中国驻美国大使馆门前举行。请看本台记者郭亚萨从现场发来的报道。

 

记者: 我现在在美国华盛顿的中国大使馆门前,近百名来自世界各地的各界人士聚集在此,参加纪念1989年"六四"事件的烛光追悼会。

 

烛光追悼会由全美中国学生学者自治联合会主办,魏京生基金会、大华府华人支持民运联络委员会、中国民主运动海外联席会议、争取越南民主团结、华盛顿地区藏青会、中国民主党青年委员会、华盛顿海外香港华人联会协办。

 

烛光追悼会以为"六四"事件受难者默哀开始,随后全美学自联理事会候补理事陈闯创致开幕词,他说:"我绝对相信我们不需要再等另外一个27年,我们才能进到 对面的大使馆里,以中国政府的名义来正式的悼念1989年6月那些为中国自由、民主而捐躯的学生和市民们,那些先烈。"

 

天安门母亲群体负责人尤维洁还通过录音致辞。1989年天安门广场上的民主女神像的翻版雕塑随后揭幕,雕塑家陈维明发表讲话说:"现在我们面对的是用中国人的鲜血染红的旗帜,我们在对中国共产党这个国家恐怖主义说不,我们要把他的暴行展示于天下。"在接受本台采访时,他说:"我们认为这个政权不属于人民,因为他们没有经过人民合法的选举,所以说它是非法的。"

 

全美学自联理事会候补理事古懿在接受本台记者采访时介绍了这次烛光追悼会的意义:"我们全美学自联举办这次烛光追悼会的目的,是记住当年在北京发生的这场大屠杀,不忘当年的死难者,声讨凶手,声援死难者家属的正当要求,更重要的是我们希望通过这次的烛光追悼会延续当年89学生的精神。"

 

烛光纪念会的最后举办了2016年全美学自联"自由精神奖"颁奖典礼。该奖项授予了张海涛和郭飞雄。自由亚洲电台记者郭亚萨采访报道。
