【新唐人2014年01月29日讯】今年是“天安门大屠杀”25周年，新年一开始，中共当局就开始对国内所谓敏感人士禁声，而在国外，民运人士展开了“天下围城活动”，让人们不忘“6.4”，更有美国学者在白宫网站上发起征签活动，希望美国政府能行动起来，呼吁中共公开“6.4屠杀”真相。
1月24号，美国蒙大拿大学（the University of Montana）退休史学教授史蒂芬・莱文(Steven Levine)在美国白宫网站上，发起征签活动，希望在2月23号前收到10万签名，以引起欧巴马政府重视，并且做出议案，要求中共当局公布“6.4”真相。在征签的名单中有来自美国、英国、法国、澳大利亚、
新西兰，以及中国大陆和其他国家的民众。
美国蒙大拿大学（the University of Montana）退休史学教授史蒂芬・莱文(Steven Levine)：“我做这件事情是因为在我一生，一直都是研究中国历史政治的学生和老师，我非常关心中国，对于1989年6月4日发生的事情我记得非常清楚，因此我想鼓励人们记住，那里发生了什么，我认为对于政治来说，记忆是非常重要的。”
莱文教授还说，他做这件事情的另一个目地，是想告诉人们，当时那些在天安门广场战斗的民众，就是为了中国的政治民主改革。而现在中共当局也是在大谈政治改革。
Steven Levine：“如果中国人民能知道历史，他们也许肯定知道该干什么，我想中国政府在阻止年轻一代了解历史上发生的这件重要的事情。如果中国人知道了历史，我想他们完全有能力来管理他们自己，及做出决定，也知道该做出什么样的决定，知道要怎样参与政治。”
莱文还建立网站，发表了“我们不会忘记六四”的倡议书，来纪念天安门大屠杀25周年。倡议书写道，当局禁止在国内对“六四”进行公开的讨论，现在是打破这一沉默的时候了。
出于对中国美好未来的关切，倡议书呼吁，世界各地的学校、大学、民间组织、以及基金会、研究机构、非政府组织和类似实体，在今年4月15号和6月4号之间，大力赞助并召集各项活动，以宣讲会、讲座、或纪念游行、新闻发布会和其他适当形式，纪念“六四”二十五周年。
据香港媒体报导，北京市公安局日前向中共前总书记赵紫阳的秘书鲍彤宣布：从1月17号起至6月4号，鲍彤不能接受境内外任何媒体采访，也不能在境内外任何媒体发表任何文字。
天安门民主女神雕塑家陈维明：“在25年当中，每到这个关键的时刻，他们都会非常的恐惧，6.4其实是一个象征、是一个坐标，6.4 这一天，人们真正的为了国家的民主、现代化，上街呐喊，要结束一党专政。”
去年8月，89民运学生领袖王丹，在美国洛杉矶发出“6.4”25周年“天下围城”的号召，居住在美国纽约的中国媒体人士北风，则与相关人士策划“6.4”25周年“重回天安门广场”的行动。
据旅美民运领袖，“中国民主党全委会美国委员会”主席张健介绍，今年1月1号，纽约民主党宣布“天下围城”开始后，还有一系列的“6.4”25周年活动。
旅美民运领袖张健：“同时今年也会有更多的活动表达，包括在领事馆、联合国，以及中国驻外的所有使馆，海外流亡的这些斗士们，将会用自己的声音，去发表对中共的抗议。”
张健说，他们在“6.4”25周年的时候，加大抗议活动，是因为25年来，中共不但没有实现政治改革的承诺，反而在变本加厉的迫害自己的人民，将民主、自由和道德观践踏在中共残酷政权的脚下。

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.”
