2024年10月1日今天，中国民主党英国总部在伦敦中国大使馆门前举行了一场抗议活动，表达对中国政府人权问题的谴责。他们手持标语、高喊口号，呼吁中国政府尊重人权、释放政治犯，并呼吁国际社会关注中国国内的民主化进程。
随后，中国民主党英国总部的成员又去到了中国大使馆新的选址门前，参与港人和藏人组织的抗议活动。
本次抗议活动的组织者魏辰雨表示，选择在10月1日这个特殊的日子进行集会，旨在向世界传递一个明确的信息：中国政府在庆祝建国周年的同时，依然忽视其国内人民的基本权利。活动中，抗议者们举着印有“释放良心犯”、“结束言论控制”和“还我自由”等字样的横幅和标语，并不断呼喊“结束一党专政”、“追求自由民主”等口号。
中国政府长期以来对异议人士的打压和对人权的漠视，使得我们这些身在海外的中国人感到痛心。我们希望通过这次活动，让中国政府明白，我们不会放弃对自由、民主的追求，同时也希望国际社会给予更多的关注和支持。

Protest on China’s National Day, calling for human rights and freedom
1 October 2024, UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party held a protest in front of the Chinese Embassy in London to express condemnation of the Chinese government’s human rights issues. They held banners and shouted slogans, calling on the Chinese government to respect human rights, release political prisoners, and call on the international community to pay attention to China’s domestic democratization process.
Later, members of UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party went to the new site of the Chinese Embassy to participate in the protest organized by Hong Kong and Tibetans.
Wei Chenyu, the organizer of this protest, said that the choice of October 1, a special day, to hold a rally is intended to send a clear message to the world: the Chinese government still ignores the basic rights of its people while celebrating the anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. During the event, protesters held banners and slogans with words such as “Release prisoners of conscience”, “End speech control” and “Give me freedom”, and kept shouting slogans such as “End one-party dictatorship” and “Pursue freedom and democracy”.
The Chinese government’s long-term suppression of dissidents and disregard for human rights have made us Chinese living abroad feel sad. We hope that through this event, the Chinese government will understand that we will not give up the pursuit of freedom and democracy. We also hope that the international community will give more attention and support.
Participating party members: Li Haobo, Zhou Xiaobin, Cheng Xiaodan, Cheng Min, Yu Bin, Wei Chenyu, Lin Lijun, Wang Jian, Jin Xuezhen, Cheng Yali
