On
April 7, 2013, the Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars
(IFCSS) council held a meeting participated in by its 5 council members. At the meeting it was resolved to hold
the annual commemoration of the June 4 Massacre in front of the Chinese Embassy
in Washington DC, USA (address: 3505 International Pl NW, Washington, DC
20008-3025, USA) on June 1, 2013. This
gathering will be the 24th consequent yearly commemoration lead by the IFCSS in
memory of the heroes and victims of the June 4 Massacre in the 1989
pro-democracy movement. During the
same event, the IFCSS shall reveal its 2013 annual "Spirit of Freedom
Award" winner and give its award dedication. Hereby, the IFCSS is calling for nominations for this year's
candidates from the whole society.
The
IFCSS invites everyone in the community to participate in our commemoration to
be held in the park in front of the Chinese embassy in Washington DC on the
evening of June 1, 2013 from 7pm to 9:30pm. We will express our grievance for the victims of the June 4
Massacre in 1989 and to strive for the early realization of human rights and
democracy in China. (The address
of the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC is: 3505 International Pl NW,
Washington, DC 20008, USA. There
is meter parking on the road side of Van Ness by the embassy which is free
during the weekend. There is also
a parking garage across Van Ness on the north side of the road.)
The
"Spirit of Freedom Award" was established by an IFCSS Council
resolution in 2001. It aims to
recognize and celebrate Chinese citizens who are not afraid of authoritarian
terror and contemptuous of totalitarian violence, who have the spirit to call
for freedom with conscience, sacrificing even their lives. The "Spirit of Freedom Award"
has always been open to accept nominations from the whole community. The nominees and winners should be
residing in China.
Since
the "Spirit of Freedom Award" was awarded for the first time in 2001
to Mr. Song Zhongqiu, who was at the end of his life with terminal cancer yet
raised his voice and publicly announced quitting the Communist Party, the IFCSS
has been announcing the awardees during its June 4 commemoration every year. Other awardees include:
In 2006
to the 3 Gentlemen who unprecedentedly challenged Mao Zedong, which was praised
as "a magnificent feat of the 1989 pro-democracy movement";
In 2010
to Dr. Wang Bingzhang who as a pioneer had promoted the democracy movement from
overseas for many years;
In 2011
to the famous artist Ai Weiwei who speaks for "the vulnerable groups with
fear";
And in
2012 to Mr. Li Wangyang, who was the chairman of the Shaoyang Independent
Workers' Union of Hunan Province, and thus received a 13-year prison sentence
and long time persecution of the Communist regime until his mysterious death.
Regarding
the nominations and details of the IFCSS "Spirit of Freedom Award",
please call Dr. Lu at 1(302) 312-6840.
The IFCSS welcomes the community to actively participate in the
nomination. Nominations may be
e-mailed to: ifcss64@AOL.com and pingwang88@hotmail.com; or snail mailed to:
Ciping Huang c/o IFCSS, PO Box 15449, Washington, DC 20003, USA. The deadline for nominations is May 24,
2013.
