A Floating Lantern Ceremony on River Cam
20 years. A blink. Or a lifetime?
For some, it has been 20 years too long.
For those mothers who lost their children, for those “counter-revolutionaries” who still languish behind bars, for those exiles who have been repeatedly denied the rights to go home, it has been 20 years too long without justice.
The least we could do, is to remember. Both the death, and the living.
Let’s lit up River Cam in a call for justice and truth. Together we will show the world that yes, we care, and truth would not be buried forever.
The event itself is free, and help will be on hand to help you make your own lantern. You can also use a ready made one if you so wish. We also provide an online ‘lantern adoption program’; even if you cannot join us on the day, you can adopt your own lantern beforehand and still show your support! All proceeds from the event will go towards the Tiananmen Mothers.
This event is co-organised by Cambridge University Amnesty International and Chinese Salon.
