Olympic Watch, Wei Jingsheng Foundation, etc. calling for
Global Tiananmen Vigil on Thursday, June 3, 2004 7:00pm
On Thursday, June 3, at 19:00 in various time zones, people around the world
will light candles in their windows to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of
the massacre in Beijing. This is the ambition of the Global Tiananmen Vigil, an
international initiative launched today by Olympic Watch, Wei Jingsheng
Foundation, Laogai Research Foundation, and China Labour Bulletin, etc. The aim
is to "create a rolling light of hope … for the oppressed people in
China".
During the night of June 3-4, 1989, the communist "People's Liberation
Army" murdered hundreds, if not thousands, of students, workers, and other
innocent Chinese people who peacefully demanded reform in the People's Republic
of China. As the Chinese Communist Party continues its totalitarian rule over
China, imprisoning, torturing, and executing innocent people, and mounting
other human rights abuses every day, the horrendous crimes committed fifteen
years ago in Beijing including the world renown Tiananmen Square, were never
properly investigated and prosecuted.
TiananmenVigil.org, a web page specifically designed for the event, is being
officially launched today.
Hereby, the Wei Jingsheng Foundation, together with the other international
human rights organizations for Chinese human rights improvement, is appealing
to all of our friends and supporters to join us for this global wide
event. We thank to our
international friends and allies, especially the Olympic Watch, for their long
time and continuous effort for Chinese democracy and human rights.
Olympic
Watch (Committee for the 2008 Olympic Games in a Free and Democratic Country)
initiated this event. It was
established in Prague in 2001. Its mission is to monitor the human rights
situation in the People's Republic of China in the run-up to the Beijing 2008
Olympic Games and to campaign to achieve improvements in the lives of the
people of China. Olympic Watch
could be reached at: press@olympicwatch.org or +420-608-560-503. More information is also available at
http://www.olympicwatch.org/.

奥林匹克观察、魏京生基金会等:
全球天安门烛光纪念通告：二零零四年六月三日，星期四，晚7时
下个星期四，6月3日晚上各地当地时间7点整，世界各地的人们将在自己的窗口点燃烛光，纪念北京天安门屠杀事件15周年。这是今天由奥林匹克观察、魏京生基金会、劳改基金会和中国劳工通讯等组织共同发起的全球天安门烛光纪念活动。这个烛光纪念活动意在"给受压迫的中国人民点亮一条希望的光道"。
1989年6月3日至4日， 中共的"人民解放军"屠杀了如果不是上千个，至少也是上百个学生、工人以及无辜百姓，他们所做的，只是和平情愿自己的人民共和国得以改革。在中国共产党继续它的独断统治，监禁、折磨、杀害无辜百姓，并且每天重复着侵犯人权的事情的同时，15年前在北京市中心进行的那场大屠杀从来没有得到应有的调查和惩治。
今天，为天安门事件烛光纪念会而设立的网站TiananmenVigil.org正式运行。
魏京生基金会特此向我们的朋友及支持者们呼吁:在6月3日晚上7时不忘1989年的6.4屠杀,点起蜡烛,以示纪念。我们也借此机会向包括奥林匹克观察在内的朋友们表示敬意。奥林匹克观察于2001年在布拉格设立。它的职责是观察监督中华人民共和国的人权状况，直到2008年奥林匹克运动会举行之日，旨在促进中国人们的生存状况。联系方法是: press@olympicwatch.org 或者打电话至：+420-608-560-503。网站 http://www.olympicwatch.org/ 有更多的有关信息。
