The Overseas
Chinese Democracy Coalition Joins Forces for Activities in Observing the 16th
Anniversary of the 1989 June 4 Tiananmen Massacre in Beijing
-- Call for
Participating in Global-wide Activities in Various Cities, as well as a Global
Tiananmen Vigil on Thursday, June 3, 2005 8:00pm local time.
As the 16th
anniversary of 1989's June 4 Massacre in Beijing approaches, the Overseas
Chinese Democracy Coalition is calling for all its members and friends who
support Chinese human rights and democracy to join in rallies and activities
both locally and globally in observing this anniversary. The Coalition is organizing and
co-sponsoring activities in various countries. We are calling your attention to join your local June 4
memorial activities again this year.
This year also marks the first memorial after the death of Mr. ZHAO
ZiYang, the fired Communist Party head who refused to order the troops to open
fire on the protestors and demonstrators and thus was put under house arrest
for the rest of his life.
During the night
of June 3-4, 1989, the Chinese Communists' "People's Liberation Army"
employed tanks and guns to kill many students, workers, and other innocent
Chinese people who were peacefully demanding reform in the People's Republic of
China. 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 sixteen years ago in Beijing including the world-renowned Tiananmen
Square Massacre were never properly investigated and prosecuted.
The Overseas
Chinese Democracy Coalition will be leading and joining forces in various parts
of the world, including inside China, to take action in memory of the June 4 victims
and in support of democracy movements in China. There are fliers and posters are already spreading in the
major cities in China. For the
next two weeks, especially the coming weekend of June 3/4/5, we are having
memorial services and other related activities in South Korea, Thailand, New
Zealand, Australia, the United States and many European countries, etc. We call our friends to support and to
join these global activities, as you are able. For those friends who are at a distance, we ask you to light
candles in your windows to commemorate this 16th anniversary of the June 4
Massacre in Beijing. The specific
time is on Friday, June 3, at 20:00 in various time zones. This memorial is the ambition of the
Global Tiananmen Vigil, a two-year old international initiative by Olympic
Watch and various Chinese human rights organizations including the Wei
Jingsheng Foundation, etc. The aim
is to "create a rolling light of hope ... for the oppressed people in
China".
Among all the
activities in varies cities, the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition
co-sponsoring two events in Washington, DC, on June 3, 2005. One is in front of the Chinese embassy
from 7:00pm until 8:30pm. The
other is in Farragut Square, NW (intersection of K St & 17th St) from
11:30am until 2:00pm.

中国民主运动海外联席会议关于携手共同纪念六四屠杀16周年纪念的通知
-- 主持参加各地纪念活动及全球天安门烛光纪念通告
在1989年北京的六四屠杀16周年纪念日到来之时，中国民主运动海外联席会议号召其各分部及会员积极主持并参加当地举办的纪念活动，来表达我们对死难者的哀悼及继续中国民主自由运动的决心。
1989年6月3日至4日，在世界人民的众目睽睽之下，中共屠杀了以和平方式要求改革的学生、工人及其它无辜百姓。在中共继续它的独裁统治，监禁、折磨、杀害百姓，并且每天重复着侵犯人权的同时，16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。
除了号召参加各地举办的相关活动，我们还号召大家于星期五，6月3日晚上各地当地时间8点整，在自己的窗口点燃烛光，纪念北京天安门屠杀事件16周年。这个由奥林匹克观察、魏京生基金会等组织共同发起的全球天安门烛光纪念活动已进入其第二个年头。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"。（有关全球天安门烛光纪念的网址为：Global Tiananmen Vigil:

今年，联席会议将在南韩，泰国，澳大利亚，新西兰，美国，及欧洲各国等主办或合办六四纪念活动。其中，由中国民主运动海外联席会议与其他团体共同合作，支持并举办的在美国首都华盛顿的有关活动有两个。一个是历年由全美学自联领头的，在中国驻美大使馆前的烛光纪念活动。时间是6月3日下午7点到八点半。另一个是由全球告别中共大联盟发起的活动。时间是6月3日上午11：30至下午2：00。地点是Farragut Square, NW (intersection of K St
& 17th St)。
