2025 London “June 4th” Democracy Forum and Candlelight Vigil Successfully Held
Reported by: Huang Jun, Member of the UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party
On June 4, 2025, the UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party, in collaboration with Voice of Europe and other organizations, solemnly hosted the “Commemorate June 4th · Oppose Totalitarian Dictatorship” Democracy Forum at the St Giles Conference Hall in London. The event was chaired by Huang Hua, with an opening speech by Chairman Wang Guanru. The forum was coordinated by Huang Jun and Huang Tian, fully demonstrating the overseas Chinese democratic movement’s continued commitment to historical responsibility.
International Support Converges in London — A Global Voice of Conscience
The forum gathered democracy advocates, cultural scholars, and human rights defenders from the UK, France, Germany, Taiwan, and other regions. Crossing national borders, they came together to commemorate the Tiananmen Massacre and denounce CCP tyranny. In total, 70 representatives attended the event.
Key guests included:
- Wu’er Kaixi — leading student figure of the 1989 Beijing Democracy Movement, now Secretary-General of the Human Rights Commission of Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan, who flew from Taiwan to London for the forum.
- Tianqi Liao — Honorary President of the German PEN Centre, attending from Germany.
- Maria — renowned French Sinologist.
- Benedict Rogers — Vice-Chair of the UK Conservative Party Human Rights Commission.
- Pan Yongzhong — Editor-in-Chief of Voice of Europe.
- Wang Guoxing — Convenor of the Democratic China Front.
- Ma Jian — exiled writer, President of Independent Chinese PEN Centre, who attended with human rights activist Hou Zhiming, traveling from France.
Invited by the UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party, these guests joined Chinese people worldwide to commemorate history and resist authoritarianism, embodying profound humanitarian spirit and political courage.
As one attendee put it:
“This is not merely a memorial — it is a cross-border, timeless call for democracy.”
Morning Forum — Remembering the Past, Calling for the Future
At 9 AM, the forum commenced in a solemn atmosphere.
In his opening remarks, Chairman Wang Guanru stated:
“We commemorate June 4th not to dwell in the past, but to awaken. Democracy and freedom have never left our responsibility and struggle.”
Three keynote speeches marked the forum’s high point:
- Wu’er Kaixi, drawing on his personal experience, offered deep reflections on China’s democratic challenges and international responsibility, sparking lively interaction with Party members.
- Ma Jian publicly displayed rare original photographs of the Tiananmen Massacre for the first time, declaring: “Truth must be preserved — history cannot be erased.”
- Benedict Rogers emphasized: “Democratic values transcend borders. The Chinese people’s right to freedom must not be denied.”
- Huang Hua spoke on adhering to principles of peace, rationality, and nonviolence, to help China become a nation of democracy, freedom, rule of law, and human rights.
- Song Shuyuan, Chairman of the Overseas Committee of the China Democracy Party, and Ho Ka Chi, representative of the Hong Kong Parliament, delivered speeches online.
Afternoon — Poetry and Dialogue: Bridging History and Today
In the afternoon, renowned British poet Sarah Lawson recited her poem Blood-Stained Square, written after June 4th — a piece full of poignant emotion, moving the audience to a standing tribute.
Subsequent discussions centered on “Historical Memory and Contemporary Democratic Movements”, with in-depth exchanges on China’s political transformation, freedom of speech, and youth responsibility.
Evening Candlelight Vigil — Into the Streets, Lighting the Darkness
From 5 PM, participants marched to the Chinese Embassy in London on Portland Place to hold a candlelight vigil. Holding banners, flags, and candles, they chanted slogans that echoed through the streets:
“Redress June 4th! Oppose dictatorship! End tyranny!”
“Li Peng deserves death!”
“Deng Xiaoping deserves death!”
“Xi Jinping step down!”
“Down with the Communist Party!”
The event reached a peak with speeches by key guests:
- Wu’er Kaixi and Tianqi Liao delivered impassioned speeches condemning the CCP’s authoritarian rule, drawing waves of applause.
- Ma Jian again displayed photographic evidence of the massacre and called on overseas Chinese to speak out for those still silenced.
Hunger Strike Bands — Mourning the Victims, Persevering Through the Night
A particularly moving moment came at 6 PM, when all protesters tied white bands reading “Hunger Strike Protest” across their foreheads. In silence, they mourned the victims of June 4th and protested authoritarianism. This continued until 11 PM, with flickering candlelight and fluttering banners creating one of London’s most solemn scenes that night.
Party’s Closing Statement — Memory and Commitment
In a post-event statement, the UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party noted that the event had received broad support from political, cultural, and human rights circles, as well as the overseas Chinese community in the UK.
It was not only a powerful witness to the history of June 4th but a global democratic pledge.
As the closing statement read:
“We commemorate June 4th not only to remember, but to awaken. We will continue working toward China’s constitutional transformation — so that the future will no longer be written in blood.”
