Video statement on 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre

In a video statement to mark the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in China on 4 June 2020, CSW’s Chief Executive Mervyn Thomas says: “CSW, together with organisations and individuals around the world, will be remembering this event and standing in solidarity with family members of victims who are still waiting for justice.”

In June 1989, Chinese army troops brutally supressed peaceful protests for freedom and democracy, killing and wounding thousands of people in Tiananmen Square in Beijing.

31 years later, victims’ family members continue to await justice, and the situation for human rights in China continues to deteriorate significantly.
