We will never forget the suppression of Tiananmen, Taiwan and the United States on the thirty -sixth anniversary

The world will never forget the 1989 China campaign against the pro -democracy demonstrators in the Tiananmen Square, the President of Taiwan and the US Supreme Diploma on the thirty -sixth anniversary of an event that Beijing is treated as taboo and does not allow any public memory.

The events in Beijing Central Square are not discussed and around on June 4, 1989, when the Chinese forces opened fire to end the pro -students protests led by students, in China and the official anniversary was not officially marked.

Public celebrations are in external cities, including Taipei, where senior leaders of Taiwan government often use the anniversary of China’s criticism and urged it to face what it did.

The President of Taiwan Lay Cheng T, in a Facebook post on Wednesday, praised the courage of those who participated in the protests, saying that human rights are a concept shared by Taiwan and other democracies that go beyond generations and borders.

“The memory of the Tiananmen incident on June 4 is not only the mourning of history, but also to perpetuate this memory,” said Lay, who hates Beijing “separation” and rejected his repeated offers from the talks.

He added: “Often, authoritarian governments choose silence and forgetting history, while democratic societies choose to preserve the truth and refuse to forget those who have returned their lives – and their dreams – for the idea of ​​human rights.”

“We not only refuse to forget history, but we will implement our basic values ​​every day.”

On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised the courage of the Chinese people who were killed in the bloody campaign.

“Today we celebrate the courage of the Chinese people who were killed while trying to exercise their basic freedoms, as well as those who are still persecuting during their request for accountability and justice for the events of June 4, 1989,” Rubio said in a statement.

He said, referring to the Chinese Communist Party: “CCP is actively trying to monitor facts, but the world will never forget,” referring to the Chinese Communist Party.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to the request for suspension.

Australia celebrated the annual anniversary, saying that Canberra is still committed to protecting and supporting human rights, including freedom of associations, freedom of expression and freedom of political participation.

“On this day, we join societies around the world to remember the loss in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989,” said Australian Consul General in Hong Kong and Macau, Gareth Williams, in a publication on X.

Narrow security around the box and in Hong Kong

Before dawn on June 4, 1989, Chinese tanks entered Tiananmen Square, and crushed weeks of demonstrations in support of democracy by students and workers.

China has never provided a full number of death, but rights and witnesses say that the number can coincide with thousands. China blamed the protests for the counter -debates that seek to overthrow the ruling Communist Party.

Security was tightened throughout the square on Tuesday, with the presence of the police. Police officers have created multiple checkpoints for identity tests on motorists, bicycle and pedestrians, and they prevented people from taking pictures near the box.

There was no discussion about the historical event on Chinese social media, which it is very controlled by the authorities.

Tiananmen’s mothers, who represent the relatives of the dead, this week, presented their annual statement calling for public accountability for what happened.

“The Golon died in that year one year after the other, but as the ruling party continues, the current government is responsible for responding to the Tiananmen massacre,” said Zhang Xianling, whose son Wang Nan was killed in a video.

In Hong Kong, where thousands used to gathering to celebrate the anniversary before China imposed the National Security Law in 2020, security was narrow about Victoria Park, the site of the previous common protests on candlelight.

Hong Kong John Lee’s leader said on Tuesday that the police of taking strict enforcement measures against any actions endangered national security. A performance artist was forced to leave the area adjacent to the store and a small white store was raided by customs officials on Tuesday.

One of the pro-democracy activists, the prison, is the prison-tung, organizing a 36-hour hunger strike in prison to celebrate the anniversary of the anniversary.
