Protest in Oslo marks 35th anniversary of Tiananmen Square massacre

The Norwegian Tibet Committee organised a protest in front of the Chinese Embassy in Oslo to mark the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

The protest on Tuesday (local time) aimed to honour the memory of those who lost their lives during pro-democracy protests in Beijing on June 4, 1989, and to raise awareness and call for action against ongoing human rights abuses in China.

Activists, supporters and members of the Tibetan community gathered peacefully, holding banners and chanting slogans demanding justice for the victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Protesters also highlighted the plight of the Tibetan people, urging the international community to stand in solidarity with Tibet and pressure China to respect human rights and democratic freedoms.

The Norwegian Tibet Committee, known for its advocacy for Tibetan independence and human rights, organised the event to mark the anniversary of the massacre, highlighting the interconnected struggles for freedom and justice.

The demonstration in Oslo is part of a broader global movement to commemorate the Tiananmen Square massacre and advocate for human rights in China.

Similar protests and events are being held around the world, reflecting the lasting impact of the 1989 protests and the international community’s commitment to support those who continue to fight for democracy and human rights in China.
