Petition in support of the Tiananmen Mothers
Nearly 19 years ago, the Tiananmen Mothers lost family members in the brutal crackdown in Tiananmen Square. They've waited for justice ever since. It's time to end the wait.
We've launched an urgent new petition to the Chinese government supporting the simple demands of the Tiananmen Mothers. The full petition statement reads:
We support the calls on the Chinese authorities made by the Tiananmen Mothers for them to be able to publicly mourn, without harassment, for those killed in the 1989 military crackdown on peaceful protestors in Beijing.
We urge the Chinese authorities to allow public debate about the events of 3-4 June 1989 as an important step towards securing justice for the victims of the crackdown in 1989 and their families.
