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.

"Father and Daughter in Red China's Gulag" Book Release

On Oct 6, 2015, Ms. Qi Jiazhen, a Chinese writer exiling in Australia, held a book release in Flushing, New York for her new book, "Father and Daughter in Red China's Gulag".

At the invitation of "Beijing Spring" , "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" attended this meeting and learned a lot about what happened during the Communist rule in China after 1949.

Ms. Qi was sentenced to 13 years in prison when she was 20 years old, and the only reason for her imprisonment was she wanted to go abroad to study. In the 80's, she left China and went to Australia, and took various jobs, and kept writing about her father and her family, who suffered miserably under the Communist rule in China. 

"Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" attended this meeting and members expressed their deep sympathy for Ms. Qi. 

Members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" attending today's meeting include: Cui Yingji (崔英姬），Geun Chan Park, Shen Zhelong （申哲龙），Piao Yingmei (朴英美），Liu Jingnan (柳京男），Jin Hai （金海），Jin Jinghua （金京花），Han Zhongguo （韩中国），Zheng Xinling （郑心龄），Xu Zhejun （许哲俊）。

Protest Chinese President's Visit to the United States in Washington DC

On Sept 25, a number of members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" went to Washington DC and attended protest of Chinese president Xi Jinping's visit to the United States, demanding the Chinese government to release all political prisoners and human rights lawyers, and return grabbed properties to the petitioners.

The following is a group of pictures of scene of protest.

These members include: Jin Shanyu (金姗玉）, Ren Chengguang（任成光）, Jiang Jiongri（姜炯日）, Jin Zhebin（金哲彬）, Jin Lianhua（金莲花), Jin Hai （金海）。

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.

Protest Forced Eviction and Land Grabs in China

On Sept 8, 2015, "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights", a human rights organization based in New York, USA, held a meeting and protest at the Chinese Consulate over Chinese government's forced eviction and land grabs.

我为什么加入中国公民自由联盟

玄花：我为什么加入中国公民自由联盟


我是一个普通的中国朝鲜族女孩，在2005年9月27日来到美国，我的梦想是能够过上自由的生活。在中国，人民没有基本人权，连基本的生育权利都没有，生孩子还要政府批准。中国政府还强行拆掉老百姓的私有房产，卖土地给商人赚大钱。

我在中国生活的时候，看到，听到太多的这样的事情，我的心里充满了恐惧，害怕不知道什么时候，这样的事情发生在我的身上。所以，为了过上自由的生活，我离开了中国，来到了美国。

一个偶然的机会，我知道了“中国公民自由联盟”这个组织。通过了解，我知道这个组织是为了维护我们中国人的人权和自由的，于是我毅然决定参加了这个组织。

我希望同过我的努力，为中国受苦受难的同胞争取自由和人权做贡献，也希望有一天，中国能够变成像美国那样的国家，尊重人权，每个人都享有自由和人权。

释放维权律师 保障人权

释放维权律师 保障人权 

上百名中国维权律师，近日在中国拉网式的行动中被抓捕和询问。

中共机关报《人民日报》谴责维权律师“共同策划和炒作40余起敏感事件，扰乱社会滋事，煽动颠覆国家政权的犯罪团伙”

此次受到打击的所有的维权律师都接手了涉及言论自由、人权、滥用权力或宗教迫害的案子。显然，政府相当担忧使用社交媒体和动员大众支持人权案件的做法。

他们所做的一切，都是为了保障人权，并没有罪，而当局却以莫须有的罪名抓捕或限制自由。对这种肆意侵犯人权的行径表示强烈谴责，要求当局尊重法，依法治国，立即释放所有被抓捕的维权律师，以归还他们的人身权利。

赵春萍： 纪念六四运动26周年

时间过得真快，转眼就到了纪念六四运动26周年的时间了。在加入了中国公民自由联盟之后，我了解到了很多关于六四民主运动的知识，知道那些在天安门广场上倒下去的学生，那些被机枪坦克屠杀的青年学子都是为了中国的民主自由而献出了自己的年轻生命，对他们更是充满了崇敬的心情，因此，每一年，到了纪念六四的时间，我都要去中国领事官前，和朋友们一起缅怀遇难的学生 ，要求中国政府平反六四。

在国内，六四运动从来都是一个禁忌的话题，那些敢于纪念六四的人不是被骚扰就是被逮捕，就在前几天，在2014年的5月份，在北京，几个公民在自己的家里开六四运动讨论会，结果都被抓走。在中国，人民没有基本的言论自由，更不用说纪念六四运动了。

我要求中国政府平反六四运动，让那些死难学生的冤魂得到安息。

金花林：释放刘晓波

刘晓波已经被关进中国的监狱快6年了, 他在2008年写了一篇文章,叫做"零八宪章",呼吁在中国实现民主自由, 人权法制,结果被拘留,然后在2009年以"颠覆国家政权罪"被判处有期徒刑11年.在2010年,刘晓波获得了诺贝尔和平奖,这也是第一次有中国人拿到诺贝尔和平奖.

刘晓波本来就是一个作家,作家就是要写东西,有作品,文章,如果作家不写东西,不能表达自己的观点,那就和普通老百姓没有两样了.当然作家写的东西是自己的看法,对与不对,应当有社会大众去评论,政府不能以一个作家的作品来判刑入狱.中国古代搞了那么多年的文字狱,现在看来是多么残酷.

我要求中国政府立即释放刘晓波,因为他只是在写文章表达自己的观点,根本不是在颠覆国家政权.我也要求中国政府释放所有因言入罪的政治犯.

高健： 中国强拆背后的强权

中国式的强拆背后就是没有人权可言的事，由于我在国外长期支持坚持公民自由联盟的发表一些自由言论我家就受到惩罚强拆我的家威胁我的家人目前中国政府就是独裁者为了树立威严为了利益和政绩，把我们害苦了。个人的言论只是表达事实的真相自由表达，一个人的言论只要触及到政府的面子和权利就会受到打压和人生威胁甚至判刑做牢，在强权和利益之牺牲的都是我们这些普普通通的小老百姓，当今中国政府都很难称的上是民主自由法制的国家若是有不同的声音结果就是像2010年诺贝尔和平奖刘晓波下场一样被中国政府管入监狱中，我希望中国政府能认清一个事实独裁是没有出路的，要尊重事实，尊重人权，勇于承担责任，不要说一套做一套欺骗别人就是在欺骗.

许哲俊：由毕福剑事件及言论自由之我想

4月6日，央视名嘴毕福剑在饭桌上唱评讥讽毛泽东的视频在网上流行。期间，必福剑对已故中共党魁毛泽东进行“调侃”，称其“把我们害苦了”。

四月七日深夜，央视发出将暂停播放毕福剑主持的所有节目的通告；十日，陆媒报道，毕福剑已被央视内部停职，称其正接受调查。

在我看来这段视频，只是宣泄个人情绪，是言论自由表达，这完全是无可非议的，属于言论自由的范畴，他人无权干涉。可是毕福剑为何又道歉了呢？

目前中国是独裁专制，一个人的言行只要触及到党和政府就要受到强权的压制，甚至判刑、座牢。毕福剑在强权和利益权衡之间，没有勇气捍卫自己的言论自由的权利，选择了利益的诱惑，放弃了本该拥有的权利。如此口是心非，表里不一，确实虚伪，实乃小人之举。

言论自由，毎个人都应该争取。既然说了只要不触及到法律，要尊重事实，勇于承担，没有必要向任何人道歉。因为这是属于你自己的观点，是你的自由。

希望中国政府，允许毎个人发表自己意见的权利，用宽容的心态对待不同于自己观点的看法，这样社会才有进步。

反对中国政府封锁网络

玄花：反对中国政府封锁网络

中国政府花费了巨额金钱建立了GFW，长城防火墙，来封锁过滤网络信息。由于这个网络防火墙，中国人民彻底失去了言论自由的权利，也失去了知情权，“为人不做亏心事，半夜不怕鬼叫门”，中国政府为什么要进行网络封锁，这是一个值得我们深思的问题。实际上，原因很简单，就是怕被世人知道对中国政府不利的消息，不让人们在网络上自由发表自己的观点。

现在中国20多岁的年轻人，基本都不知道1989年发生在北京的天安门大屠杀，也不知道刘晓波是谁，不知道他是中国第一个得了诺贝尔和平奖的公民。还有陈光诚，这个勇敢的盲人律师，因为帮助那些被强迫流产的妇女打官司，结果被当地政府用莫须有的罪名投入监狱4年3个月，这些人物和事件，都是中国政府不愿意让中国人民知道的。

还有，美国的纽约时报网站和彭博网站因为揭露中国国家领导人藏匿巨额财产，也都被中国政府封锁，不让中国的老百姓上去看事情真相。

可喜的是，越来越多的中国人现在抛弃了恐惧，勇敢地站了出来，维护自己的权利，对中国政府的网络封锁说NO。我们作为中国人，都应当为了中国的言论自由，尤其是网络自由，做出自己的一份贡献。

我要求中国政府立即停止封锁网络，让人民享有言论自由。
