【新唐人2014年01月29日訊】今年是「天安門大屠殺」25週年，新年一開始，中共當局就開始對國內所謂敏感人士禁聲，而在國外，民運人士展開了「天下圍城活動」，讓人們不忘「6.4」，更有美國學者在白宮網站上發起徵簽活動，希望美國政府能行動起來，呼籲中共公開「6.4屠殺」真相。
1月24號，美國蒙大拿大學（the University of Montana）退休史學教授史蒂芬・萊文(Steven Levine)在美國白宮網站上，發起徵簽活動，希望在2月23號前收到10萬簽名，以引起歐巴馬政府重視，並且做出議案，要求中共當局公布「6.4」真相。在徵簽的名單中有來自美國、英國、法國、澳大利亞、
新西蘭，以及中國大陸和其他國家的民眾。
美國蒙大拿大學（the University of Montana）退休史學教授史蒂芬・萊文(Steven Levine)：「我做這件事情是因為在我一生，一直都是研究中國歷史政治的學生和老師，我非常關心中國，對於1989年6月4日發生的事情我記得非常清楚，因此我想鼓勵人們記住，那裏發生了甚麼，我認為對於政治來說，記憶是非常重要的。」
萊文教授還說，他做這件事情的另一個目地，是想告訴人們，當時那些在天安門廣場戰鬥的民眾，就是為了中國的政治民主改革。而現在中共當局也是在大談政治改革。
Steven Levine：「如果中國人民能知道歷史，他們也許肯定知道該幹甚麼，我想中國政府在阻止年輕一代了解歷史上發生的這件重要的事情。如果中國人知道了歷史，我想他們完全有能力來管理他們自己，及做出決定，也知道該做出甚麼樣的決定，知道要怎樣參與政治。」
萊文還建立網站，發表了「我們不會忘記六四」的倡議書，來紀念天安門大屠殺25週年。倡議書寫道，當局禁止在國內對「六四」進行公開的討論，現在是打破這一沉默的時候了。
出於對中國美好未來的關切，倡議書呼籲，世界各地的學校、大學、民間組織、以及基金會、研究機構、非政府組織和類似實體，在今年4月15號和6月4號之間，大力贊助並召集各項活動，以宣講會、講座、或紀念遊行、新聞發佈會和其他適當形式，紀念「六四」二十五週年。
據香港媒體報導，北京市公安局日前向中共前總書記趙紫陽的秘書鮑彤宣佈：從1月17號起至6月4號，鮑彤不能接受境內外任何媒體採訪，也不能在境內外任何媒體發表任何文字。
天安門民主女神雕塑家陳維明：「在25年當中，每到這個關鍵的時刻，他們都會非常的恐懼，6.4其實是一個象徵、是一個坐標，6.4 這一天，人們真正的為了國家的民主、現代化，上街吶喊，要結束一黨專政。」
去年8月，89民運學生領袖王丹，在美國洛杉磯發出「6.4」25週年「天下圍城」的號召，居住在美國紐約的中國媒體人士北風，則與相關人士策劃「6.4」25週年「重回天安門廣場」的行動。
據旅美民運領袖，「中國民主黨全委會美國委員會」主席張健介紹，今年1月1號，紐約民主黨宣佈「天下圍城」開始後，還有一系列的「6.4」25週年活動。
旅美民運領袖張健：「同時今年也會有更多的活動表達，包括在領事館、聯合國，以及中國駐外的所有使館，海外流亡的這些鬥士們，將會用自己的聲音，去發表對中共的抗議。」
張健說，他們在「6.4」25週年的時候，加大抗議活動，是因為25年來，中共不但沒有實現政治改革的承諾，反而在變本加厲的迫害自己的人民，將民主、自由和道德觀踐踏在中共殘酷政權的腳下。

White House Website Petition Calls For Recognition Of Tiananmen Massacre Victims
This year is the 25th anniversary of the “Tiananmen Massacre".
From the beginning of the New Year, the Chinese authorities began
to gag the so-called sensitive persons in China.
Abroad, pro-democracy activists launched the
" Global Siege Movement" to remind people of “6.4″.
More American scholars hope to get help from the U.S. to publicise
the CCP’s “6.4 massacre" truth by launching a signature collection drive.
January 24, retired history professor from the University of
Montana, Steven Levine launched a signature collection
campaign on the White House Web site.
They wish to receive 100 thousand signatures before
February 23 to attract Obama Government’s attention and
push the Chinese authorities to launch a public enquiry to uncover
the truth of “6.4″ .
Upon going to press, the petition number has reached 99,969 people
in 5 days.
People from United States, Britain, France, Australia,
New Zealand, all over the world as well as in China have signed
the petition.
Steven Levine: the reason I did this is because I have been a student
and a teacher of Chinese history and politics during my life,
and I am very concerned about China, and I remember very clearly
the event in 6/4/1989.
So I try to encourage people to remember what happened there,
because memory is very powerful in politics .
Professor Levine said the reason he does it is to tell people
those who fought in Tiananmen Square were for China’s
political and democratic reform.
And now the Chinese authorities are also talking about political
reform.
Steven Levine: If Chinese people knew their history
they would probably know what to do now.
The Chinese Government prevented the young people from
knowing this important history.
Once people know the history, they are able to make their own
decisions to manage themselves and participate in politics.
Levine also built a websites and published the initiative of
“We will never forget June 4th" to commemorate the 25th
anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Its recommendations said it is time to break the ban for the “June
4th" discussion by the authorities.
For concerns about a better future for China,
the proposal calls upon schools around the world, universities,
civil society organizations,
as well as foundations, research institutions, non-governmental
organizations and similar entities
for the sponsoring and convening of activities between April 15
and June 4
to commemorate the 25th anniversary of “June 4th" in lectures,
seminars, or memorial parades, press conferences and other
appropriate forms.
According to Hong Kong media, the Beijing Municipal Bureau
told Bao Tong,
the secretary to former CCP General Secretary
Zhao Ziyang, not to accept interviews inside or outside, and no
publishing either.
The sculptor of Tiananmen Square Democracy Goddess, Chen
Weiming: “In the past 25 years, every year at this critical time,
we all feel very scared.
6.4 is actually a symbol of togetherness.
On that day of June 4th, people called for an end of one-party
dictatorship for a truly democratic and modernized state."
Last August, “89 Democratic Movement” student leader Wang
Dan launched the Global Siege Movement for the 25th anniversary
of “6.4″ in Los Angeles.
living in New York Chinese media people, Bei Feng planned
“ Return Tiananmen Square” action on 25th anniversary of “6.4″
with relevant people.
According to the U.S. China pro-democracy leaders,
“U.S. Committee of China Democratic National Committee"
Chairman Zhang Jian introduced, a series of “6.4″ 25th
anniversary activities,
after New York Democrat announced the “Global Siege movement"
on January 1.
US China pro-democracy leader Zhang Jian:
“Also there will be more activities this year including, at the
consulates, the United Nations, as well as all Chinese embassies
abroad.
These exiled fighters will use their own voice to protest the CCP. “
Zhang Jian said they will increase protests on the 25th anniversary
of “6.4″
because the CCP has not only failed to achieve promised
political reforms but intensified the persecution on its own
people in the 25 years.
The CCP’s brutal regime has trodden down freedom
and democracy and morality.”
