Tiananmen event announcedSPURNING SILENCE: A rights advocate said that young Chinese have not learned about the events surrounding the June 4, 1989, protests and Beijing’s crackdownBy Chen Yu-fu and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe New School for Democracy is to hold an online event on Friday to commemorate the 32nd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the organization said yesterday. “The Chinese Communist Party [CCP] cannot escape responsibility for the Tiananmen Massacre,” the organization told an online news conference, adding that the whole world was part of the resistance against China. “This year marks 32 years since the Tiananmen Massacre, but the CCP has never apologized and has not made reparations to the victims,” Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Hung Sun-han (洪申翰) said. The CCP still arrests Chinese democracy advocates, including those in Hong Kong and Macau, Hung said. Tibetans were disappointed that the CPP quashed the movement in a bloody crackdown, Tashi said, adding that hopefully many people would join the online event to commemorate the massacre.
