These leaders brazenly ordered the bloody crackdown that turned tanks and guns against the people, shocking the world with the extremely tragic event that embodied injustice, falsehood and wrongfulness. The June Fourth Massacre is one of this century s most serious crimes against humanity. It is a disgrace for China and for all of mankind. Justice is barely left standing. The rich are getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer.
Chinese society seethes with discontent as danger lurks on every side.
In the ten years since the June Fourth Massacre, restrictions on expression, the press and politics have continued as before. The speaking of truth, the publication of genuine news and independent organization have led to harsh repression. In the 10 years since the June Fourth Massacre, the victims injured and the families of those killed have lived in torment. The individuals imprisoned for their role in the 1989 Democracy Movement and many other political prisoners have been wasting away in China s jails. The unemployed, as well as the urban and rural poor, have no outlet to air their grievances.
