COMMEMORATIVE ACTIVITIES FOR THE 20th ANNIVERSARY OF JUNE FOURTH MASSACRE IN CHINA

The year 2009 is both the 90th anniversary of the May 4th Movement and The 20th Anniversary of June Fourth Massacre in China. The Hong Kong Alliance (the Alliance) have decided on the theme “Remember June 4th, Inherit the goals of those before us; Pass on the torch, Relay the message of democracy to those after us”. We call for all who are concerned about the democratic development and human rights situation of China to stand firm in the fight to rectify the June 4th verdict, and succeed to the goals of those martyrs of democracy. We would also like to encourage youths to join our rank in the struggle for democracy, and together we will work towards the building of a prosperous new China that reveres human rights, respects the rule of law and embodies justice!

The Alliance is launching a series of events to commemorate the 20th anniversary of June 4, including a patriotic pro-democracy march on the May 31st and a candlelight vigil on June 4th.

The following details the events planned in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of June 4th. With such a massive initiative, a lot of volunteers are needed to ensure that all events run smoothly.
