This year, 2006, is the 17th
anniversary of the June Forth Massacre at
Tiananmen Square, Beijing. After years of torment, families of the
victims cannot find peace to mourn their loved
ones in peace. Continuous surveillance,
harassment, stalking and detention by the
authorities continue. The Tiananmen Mothers
Campaign* organized an online petition campaign
"The 64 roses -We call for Justice!"
calling for the right to mourn the deceased June
Fourth victims peacefully, freely and publicly.
To support the petition, please go to: http://tmc-hk.org/forum.php. All the names collected would be
submitted to the Chinese government.
To make the mothers' voice
heard, Tiananmen Mothers Campaign also produced a
VCD documenting the struggles with testimonials
of the Tiananmen Mothers** group, a group
initiated by the victims' families of the June
Fourth Massacre. Moreover, they have
started another round of postcard campaign
calling the authorities to listen to the mothers'
voice. If you would like a set or copies of
the postcard or the VCD, please feel free to
contact us at hotline@acpp.org to indicate the number required and
your postal address.
We wish these materials could
help you in understanding the mothers' struggle.
Please share your support by signing the online
petition or by posting the postcards to the
authorities. If you have any feedback,
please contact us at hotline@acpp.org.

struggle for justice since 2000 by issuing UA000523(7)
