27th Anniversary of Tiananmen Square Massacre

On June 7, 2016, a meeting was held at the Sheraton Hotel, Flushing, New York to remember the 27th anniversary of Tiananmen Square Massacre.

This meeting was sponsored by "Beijing Spring", a pro-democracy journal located in New York, USA; Chinese Alliance for Democracy; China Democracy Party, and a number of other pro-democracy and human rights organizations.

27 years ago, student in Beijing took to the streets in protest of government corruption, demanding freedom, human rights, and a democratic political system. Thousands of students and civilians were massacred by the Chinese army at the Tiananmen Square.

From then on, people around the world would remember the day of "June 4", the day when the Chinese army opened fire on the students and civilians, and mourn those who sacrificed their lives for freedom and democracy in China.

However, the Chinese government refused to redress the issue of Tiananmen Massacre, and blocked all information on the internet in China on "June 4" Tiananmen democracy movement. Those who dare to mourn the killed students and remember the Tiananmen Massacre, publicly or privately, are either detained or arrested.

Zhang Xianlai, a member of the "Chinese Alliance for Democracy", said that we should always remember those students who sacrificed their lives for China's democracy.

Other members attending this meeting include: Jin Changxie, Piao Yingmei, Yu
Wenfeng, Jin Yingyu, Xuan Hua.

50th Anniversary of "the Great Cultural Revolution"

On May 17, 2016, a meeting in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of China's "Great Cultural Revolution" was held at the Sheraton Hotel, Flushing, New York, USA.

The "Great Cultural Revolution", which was started in China by the paramount Chinese leader Mao Zedong on May 17, 1966, and ended in 1976, destroyed almost all the Chinese ancient cultures and relics since some 2000 years ago.

Tens of millions of Chinese people died as a result of this unprecedented campaign, and hundreds of millions of Chinese people were persecuted. The intellectuals were sent to the countryside to be reeducated by the peasants. Millions of Chinese government officials were either killed or sent to labor camps, including the father of the current Chinese president Xi Jinping.

Members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights", including Shen Xuehua, Piao Ri, Shen Zhenan, and Li Xianghua attended the meeting.

CCCR Remembers 67th Anniversary of "Universal Declaration of Human Rights"

On Dec 10, 2015, "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights", a U.S. based Chinese human rights organization, held a rally across from the Chinese Consulate General in New York City to remember the 67th anniversary of "Universal Declaration of Human Rights", calling on the Chinese government to release Liu Xiaobo, author of "Charter 08", a manifesto calling for rule of law, human rights, and freedom of speech in China.

Liu Xiaobo, a Christian, was sentenced to 11 years in prison on Christmas Day, Dec 25, 2009, on charges of subversion of state power for writing this article. The next year, in 2010, the Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo in recognition of his great contribution to China's peaceful transition to a democracy. However, Liu Xiaobo was not able to go to Norway to attend the award ceremony on Dec 10, 2010, the 62nd anniversary of "Universal Declaration of Human Rights", because he was then serving his prison terms in China.

"Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" calls for the Chinese government to release Liu Xiaobo and all the other political prisoners in China, and return freedom of speech to all the Chinese citizens.

Members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" attending today's rally include: Li Ming, Lu Aihua, Geun chun Park, Cui Yingji, Piao Gengchang, Xuan Hua, Ma Meihong, Xuan Yingyu, Shen Xuehua, Piao Yingmei, Jin Hai, and Wei Jian.

柳京男：抗议习近平主席访问美国

再过几天，中国国家主席习近平就要访问美国了。这是他担任中国国家主席以来第一次访问美国。作为一个中国公民，我在此抗议他来美国，要求他释放刘晓波和一切政治犯，停止暴力强征土地和强拆民房，停止网络封锁，让人民享有言论自由.

在习近平担任国家主席后,虽然在反对腐败方面取得一定成效,但是,老百姓并没有得到什么实质性的好处.他抓的那些贪官污吏,都是没有后台,没有根基的平民出身的官,那些红二代贪官,虽然他们可能贪污腐败的数额可能有几百几千亿,却没有被抓,比如李鹏的女儿李小琳,江泽民的儿子江绵恒,温家宝的儿子温云松等.习近平的反腐,沦落为巩固权力而进行的对反对派的政治清洗,也就是权斗.

另一方面,习近平上台后,加紧了对异议人士的镇压,比如那些维权律师,新闻记者,等.不屈的新闻记者高瑜被控以"泄露国家机密罪"而被判7年徒刑,就是一个典型的例子,本来,70多岁的高瑜出于记者的职业本能,在媒体上公布一些社会公众都应当了解的新闻,是再正常不过的事情,却被严厉镇压,说明中国根本没有新闻自由,言论自由.还有,最近对维权律师的打压,也说明了中国政府对社会上异议声音的恐惧.这些都是对公民最基本人权的严重侵犯.前几天,网络上报道说,在中国有1300多人因为发表不同的看法而被抓捕坐牢,他们是政治犯,因为自己的政治观点而在坐牢.

我要求习近平主席在来美国访问之前,释放所有的政治犯,释放刘晓波,释放所有的维权律师,开放互联网,让人民享有言论自由和网络自由.
