2024年6月4日晚间，中国民主党英国总部、在英港人、藏人等团体在伦敦中国大使馆前举行了纪念六四事件35周年的活动。该悼念活动由1989年曾经与时任中国总理对话的学生代表发起组织。这次活动不仅是对那场历史事件的追忆，更是对中国大陆人权现状的声讨和呼吁。
活动在晚上八点拉开帷幕，活动现场悬挂：“调查六四真相，追究屠城责任，结束独裁暴政，建设民主联盟”的大标语。的参与者也手持横幅和标语，上面写着“纪念六四，勿忘历史”和“争取民主，结束专制”等字样。活动现场，气氛庄严而肃穆，，纪念1989年在天安门广场上牺牲的学生和市民。活动中，邵江和著名流亡作家马建都发表了讲话。他们在讲话中回顾了六四事件的经过，特别是邵江强调：六四事件不只是在天安门发生，亦不止一个晚上，而是在北京不同范围、历时72小时的屠杀。痛斥当年中国政府对和平示威的暴力镇压。他们强调，这场悲剧不仅是中国的伤痛，更是全人类的耻辱。他们呼吁国际社会不要忘记六四的牺牲者。活动组织者表示，虽然已经过去35年，但六四事件的真相依旧被中国政府掩盖，受害者的家属仍然无法得到应有的道歉和赔偿。
中国民主党英国总部的党员们手持：We will never forget的标语和纪念六四事件的海报，表达着他们对六四遇难者的深切悼念之情。第一次参与六四纪念活动的年轻党员李亚伦表示：作为逃离中共政权暴政的年轻人，他深知自由与幸福对于生活在共产主义政权下的年轻人几乎是不可能的事，他认为中国的年轻人必须勇于斗争，传承六四的精神。本次活动在雨中落下帷幕，雨滴彷佛亦在为35年前六四死难者哭泣。
这次纪念活动引起了广泛的国际媒体关注，多家媒体进行了报道。很多报道指出，在全球范围内，越来越多的人开始意识到中国的人权问题，并对中国政府的行为表示谴责。中国民主党英国总部的党员们希望通过这样的纪念活动，能够唤起更多人的良知，让全世界共同努力，推动中国早日实现民主和自由。

35th Anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre: Commemoration Event Outside the Chinese Embassy in London
On the evening of June 4, 2024, the UK Headquarters of the China Democracy Party, along with groups of Hong Kongers, Tibetans, and others in the UK, held a commemoration event outside the Chinese Embassy in London to mark the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The event was organized by a former student representative who had a dialogue with the then Chinese Premier in 1989. This commemoration was not only a remembrance of the historical event but also a denunciation and call to action regarding the current human rights situation in China.
The event commenced at 8 PM, featuring a large banner that read: “Investigate the Truth of June Fourth, Hold Those Responsible for the Massacre Accountable, End Dictatorship, and Build a Democratic Alliance.” Participants held banners and signs with messages like “Remember June Fourth, Never Forget History” and “Fight for Democracy, End Autocracy.” The atmosphere was solemn and respectful, honoring the students and citizens who perished in Tiananmen Square in 1989.
During the event, Shao Jiang and renowned exiled writer Ma Jian gave speeches. They recounted the events of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, with Shao Jiang emphasizing that the massacre was not confined to Tiananmen Square or to one night; it was a 72-hour massacre that occurred across various areas in Beijing. They condemned the violent crackdown on peaceful demonstrators by the Chinese government and stressed that this tragedy is not only a scar on China but a disgrace to humanity. They called on the international community to remember the victims of June Fourth.
The organizers noted that although 35 years have passed, the truth of the Tiananmen Square Massacre remains concealed by the Chinese government, and the families of the victims have yet to receive a proper apology and compensation.
Members of the UK Headquarters of the China Democracy Party held signs reading “We will never forget” and posters commemorating the June Fourth incident, expressing their deep condolences for the victims. First-time participant and young party member, Aaron Li, expressed that as a young person who fled the tyranny of the CCP regime, he understands that freedom and happiness are nearly impossible for those living under communist rule. He believes that young people in China must bravely fight and carry forward the spirit of June Fourth.
The event concluded in the rain, with raindrops seemingly weeping for the victims of the massacre 35 years ago. This commemoration attracted significant international media attention, with numerous outlets covering the event. Many reports highlighted the growing global awareness of China’s human rights issues and condemned the actions of the Chinese government. The members of the UK Headquarters of the China Democracy Party hope that such commemoration events will awaken more people’s consciences, urging the world to work together to achieve democracy and freedom in China as soon as possible.
Participants of the event included: Guanru Wang, Yushan Jiang, Thomas, Lijun Lin, Mingwang Chen, Yuxuan Guo, Xuecen Jin, Encheng Liu, Aaron Li, Lei Yan, Haobo Li, Liang Zhou, Qiang Zhao, Jian Wang, Yujun Wang, Xiaofeng Gu, Shuanglin Zhu, Ziming Lan, Mingqiang Lin, Shuaiben Chi, Siyong Zhu, Yinghe Wang, Junius Tian, among others.
