The voices of the martyrs are silent. Today is a cold, rainy day in Pittsburgh, half a world away. I will not forget. I have tried to fight those who forget. We must always take sides.
Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Silence encourages the tormenting, never the tormented. My story begins in Singapore. In April, a politician in China named Hu Yao Bang was buried and his memorial triggered a mass movement. Then as the politburo watched aghast, Hu collapsed with a heart attack and was rushed to a hospital. Massive demonstrations erupted.
