recognize the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre and the brave sacrifice of hundreds of pro-democracy protesters

Created by C.M. on January 24, 2014

The Tiananmen Project Initiative calls for the Obama Administration to officially and publicly recognize the astounding bravery of the thousands of Tiananmen pro-democracy protesters who lost their lives on June 4, 1989. For 25 years, the Chinese Communist Party has rewritten history, framing the June 4, 1989 massacre as a "counterrevolutionary riot," despite the overwhelmingly peaceful nature of the protests. The need for democratic and rule of law reforms in China is as important as ever. The 25th anniversary of June 4, 1989 provides a perfect moment to reflect on the continued suppression of freedom of speech and rampant human rights abuses by the Chinese Communist Party.
