Motion text
That this House notes that 4 June 2023 marks the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre; remembers those who died at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party as well as those who continue to face oppression by that Party; recognises the bravery and courage of those who protested in Tiananmen Square on this date in 1989; expresses concern that Hong Kong was the final place in China that commemorated the massacre in a yearly vigil until it was banned in 2020; and urges the Government to hold China to account for its continued blatant disregard for basic human rights and democratic principles which protesters stood for in the Tiananmen Square protests.
