Various Locations in the USA Hold Events in Memory of June 4 Massacre; Several Hundred People Protested in Front of the Chinese Consulate in New York

-- prime news from Radio Free Asia homepage, June 5, 2013

In observing the 24th anniversary of the June 4 Massacre in Beijing, Chinese democracy activists Wei Jingsheng, Wuer Kaixi, Wang Juntao, and several hundreds of protesters went to the Chinese Consulate in New York to protest and to mourn the dead. They also expect China to move towards genuine democracy and freedom.

The 24th anniversary of June 4 memorial activity was jointly organized by the Chinese Democratic Party, the Chinese Alliance for Democracy, Democratic China, the Chinese Liberal Democratic Party and other pro-democracy organizations in the greater New York area. Under the scorching sun, several hundred people dressed in white or black T-shirts to protest in front of the Chinese consulate in New York.

The protesters chanted "Freedom, China," "Democracy, China" slogans, demanding vindication of the June 4 ruling, promoting reform, and advocating democracy.

Specially arriving from Taiwan, Wuer Kaixi expressed in an interview that the democracy activists do not take the vindication of the June 4 ruling by the Communist Party as a final goal, nor expect the new Chinese government to be more open-minded, but hope the Chinese government can undertake institutional reforms.

Wuer Kaixi said that the June 4 Tiananmen Massacre is the most distinctive historical event for the whole China; even the whole world knows about the anti-democratic Chinese Communist Party. From this perspective, one could see that vindication of the June 4 ruling is important, because it will be the first step in promoting democracy in China. Democracy in China is the main reason that for 24 years now, Chinese people around the world are continuing their memorial of the June 4th Massacre.

Wei Jingsheng urged the U.S. government, that as a global leader for democracy and freedom, President Obama should also express concern for the pursuit of democracy and human rights when he is meeting Xi Jinping face to face.

悼念六四美国东西呼应，数百人纽约中领馆抗议

-- 自由亚洲电台主页要闻

2013年6月5日

六四天安门事件24周年，中国民运人士魏京生、吾尔开希、王军涛等数百名抗议者，前往中国驻纽约领事馆前抗议，悼念死难者，也期待中国真正走向民主、自由。

由中国民主党、中国民主团结联盟、民主中国阵线、中国自由民主党等大纽约地区各民运组织联合主办的纪念六四24周年活动，数百名身穿黑、白T恤的抗议者顶着烈日，在中国驻纽约领事馆前抗议。

抗议人士高呼「自由、中国」、「民主、中国」的口号，要求平反六四、推动改革、鼓吹民主。

从台湾赶来的吾尔开希接受访问时表示，对民运人士来说，并不将平反六四当作目标，也非期待这一届政府能更开明，而是希望中国政府能进行体制改革。

吾尔开希表示，六四天安门事件是全中国、乃至于全世界对中国大陆反民主的最鲜明历史，站在这样的角度思考，平反六四之所以重要，在于六四的平反将能成为开启并推进中国大陆民主的第一步，这也是为何24年来，全世界华人仍持续不断纪念六四的主因。

魏京生呼吁美国政府，身为全球民主、自由的领导者，奥巴马应该、也必须当面向习近平表达对中国追求民主、人权的关注。
