You are cordially invited to a luncheon briefing for congressional staff hosted by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation to commemorate the 29th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre on the afternoon of June 5.

 

 

Featuring the presentation of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation’s Human Rights Award to Fang Zheng, survivor of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
 
The briefing will also feature remarks by Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), Co-Chair of the Congressional Victims of Communism Caucus and Commissioner of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China.

 

Exploring the Contested History of Tiananmen Square

 

This June 4th will mark the 29th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, in which the Chinese Communist Party massacred thousands of innocent student protestors. The People’s Republic of China, to this day, censors any mention of the Massacre and refuses to acknowledge it even happened. The same regime which ordered those thousands of murders is still the same one currently reigning in Beijing, and its human rights abuses continue to this day.

Join the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation on June 5th for this expert panel discussion on the relevance of the Tiananmen Square Massacre today, and for the presentation of the Foundation’s Human Rights Award to Fang Zheng, who had both of his legs crushed by an oncoming tank in Tiananmen Square after pushing one of his schoolmates to safety.

Tuesday, June 5

11:45 AM – 12:00 PM

Although he was originally a rising star in the Chinese Communist Party, he became disillusioned, and participated in the Tiananmen Square Protest of 1989, where he witnessed the massacre of thousands of innocent students. Dr. Yang has a Ph.D. in Political Economy from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley.
