2023年6月4日是六四天安门大屠杀事件34周年纪念日，1989年6月4日，中国军队向民众开枪，用坦克镇压镇压，导致伤亡惨重。六四34周年之际，英国伦敦的示威游行抗议由中国留学生组成的“China Deviants”团体举办，中国民主党英国总部、港人、藏人、维吾尔人等人权组织和团体共同参与。
示威者先在伦敦市中心的特拉法加广场（Trafalgar Square)集会，再一路游行至中国驻英大使馆举行抗议活动。在特拉法加广场，示威组织者们，有的扮演成当年的民主女神像，有的扮演成中国清零政策中防疫“大白”，有的派发1989年北京学生所写的文章。组织者们制作了一辆写有“社会主义核心价值观”的坦克，纪念当年在中共当局镇压中被杀害的示威者。他们以“戏仿”的方式，模仿当年天安门广场上的学生，头上帮着“新闻自由”、“言论自由”、“最后一代”的布条，朗读当年学生争取自由民主的诉求，并重演当年坦克开向碾压学生的一幕。
伦敦时间晚上7点左右，约400位的示威者游行至数公里外的中国大使馆，沿途一路高呼口号：Free China, Free Tibet, Free Hongkong, Free East Turkestan, Fight for freedom ,Take down CCP, Take down Xi jinping. 沿途的外国友人竖起大拇指表示支持与赞赏，有的也一起高呼Free China。中国民主党英国总部的党员们手持“不自由，毋宁死”，和“IT’S MY DUTY”等纪念六四的标语与横幅和其他游行示威者一路高呼口号走在游行队伍之中。抵达中国驻英大使馆后，国际特赦组织分发了另外的一些标语及电子蜡烛，悼念六四死难者。
在中国，中共删除一切六四印记，他们非常害怕人们提起任何有关六四的线索，现在连香港也无法再进行延续多年的“六四维园纪念”活动，我们纪念六四就是对暴政的反抗，就是传承六四精神，就是为中国的自由民主人权而奋斗。正如中国留学生在标语里写到的：在史册里、在人心里，别让真相隐入尘烟。 中国民主党英国总部谌彬报道

Pledge: We Will Never Forget – China Democratic Party UK Headquarters Commemorates the June 4th Event
On June 4, 2023, the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, a protest march organized by the “China Deviants” group, composed of Chinese students studying in the UK, took place in London. The event was jointly participated by the China Democratic Party UK Headquarters, Hong Kongers, Tibetans, Uighurs, and other human rights organizations and groups.
The protesters gathered at Trafalgar Square in central London before marching towards the Chinese Embassy. At Trafalgar Square, the organizers dressed as the Statue of Liberty, “Big White,” a symbol of the zero-COVID policy in China, and distributed articles written by Beijing students in 1989. They also created a tank with the words “Socialist Core Values” to commemorate the demonstrators who were killed during the crackdown. In a symbolic manner, they imitated the students from Tiananmen Square, wearing headbands with slogans like “Press Freedom,” “Freedom of Speech,” and “The Last Generation.” They read aloud the demands for freedom and democracy made by the students at that time and reenacted the scene when tanks rolled towards and crushed the students.
Around 7 p.m., approximately 400 protesters reached the Chinese Embassy, several kilometers away, chanting slogans such as “Free China, Free Tibet, Free Hong Kong, Free East Turkestan, Fight for freedom, Take down CCP, Take down Xi Jinping.” Along the way, foreign supporters raised their thumbs in support and some joined in chanting “Free China.” Members of the China Democratic Party UK Headquarters carried banners and slogans commemorating the June 4th event, such as “Better to Die Than to Live Without Freedom” and “IT’S MY DUTY,” while marching and chanting alongside other protesters. Upon reaching the Chinese Embassy, Amnesty International distributed additional banners and electronic candles to mourn the victims of June 4th.
In China, the Communist Party has erased all traces of the June 4th incident, fearing any mention or reference to it. Even in Hong Kong, the long-standing “June 4th Victoria Park Vigil” cannot be held anymore. Our commemoration of June 4th is a resistance against tyranny, an inheritance of the spirit of June 4th, and a struggle for freedom, democracy, and human rights in China. As written on one of the banners by Chinese students: “In the annals of history and in people’s hearts, let the truth not be concealed by the dust.”
Reported by Chen Bin, China Democratic Party UK Headquarters
Members of the China Democratic Party UK Headquarters who participated in the event include: Wang Guanru, Jiang Yushan, Lin Lijun, Liu Kun, Zhang Weisheng, Wei Chenyu, Gu Xiaofeng, Yu Gang, Liao Liuyan, Jin Xuecen, Yu Weiliang, Chen Mingwang, Chen Bin, and others.
