Over a dozen human rights organizations in Taiwan, led by Amnesty International Taiwan and Reporters without Borders, held a vigil at Liberty Square in Taipei yesterday to commemorate the 29th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Prominent scholars and representatives from several rights groups were invited to the stage and reflect on the Chinese government’s crimes against citizens in the last 29 years. From firsthand accounts of June 4 to recent cases of human rights violation, the event focused on Beijing’s growing suppression of the Chinese civil society.
