Support the Tiananmen Mothers

The Tiananmen Mothers is a group of Chinese democracy activists promoting a change in the government's position over the suppression of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. Around every anniversary of the 1989 crackdown, many activists and human rights defenders, including the Tiananmen Mothers have been placed under tight police surveillance and forms of house arrest.

The authorities should allow full public debate about the events on 3-4 June 1989. This is an important step towards securing justice for the victims of the crackdown and their families. The Chinese authorities should release those imprisoned in connection with the 1989 protests, carry out a full, independent and impartial investigation into the crackdown with a view to bringing the perpetrators to justice and compensate the victims or their families.

Send an email to the Chinese authorities now and ensure that the rights of the Tiananmen Mothers are respected, and that their aims are acheived.
