Tibetan Graduate Student speaks at Tiananmen Square event on June 3, 2009

freeforall2008
Yesterday at the University of Miami, Tenzin Gayden, Students for a Free Tibet expressed his "solidarity and understand your feeling for the Chinese brothers and sisters who went through all this trouble twenty years ago. I am third generation
Tibetan and I speak freely in front of you, but in Tibet there voices are being suppressed - they do not have the right to speak they do not have any human rights."

The Free Cuba Foundation FIU, FIU Students for a Free Tibet, and UM CAUSA: Students United for a Free Cuba, presented the documentary "Tank Man" at the Whitten Learning Center Room 192 at the University of Miami on Wednesday, June 3, 2009 holding a discussion on human rights in China which called for a human rights centered not commerce centered approach. This followed a candlelight vigil which began playing two songs (Nothing to my name and Piece of red cloth) that were played in Tiananmen Square days prior to the massacre by Chinese rocker Cui Jian while a partial list of the names of the victims were read off and a moment of silence coinciding with the start of the military assault on the square at 10:30pm..

    • What people that don't understand communism, is that the Chinese are no better off today then they were 20 year ago.
