【禁闻】涉六四即〝煽颠〞 顾义民被判刑

江苏常熟异见人士顾义民,去年5月因申请有关〝〞的示威游行,被当局以〝煽动颠覆国家政权罪〞逮捕,现在被判刑18个月。两位辩护律师 的无罪辩护意见不仅不被采纳,在庭审结束后还遭到不明身份人员的暴力殴打,几十名无一人出面制止。〝〞到今天25年过去了,为什么至今还是中共所划的禁区呢?请看报导。


3月24号,江苏常熟市中级法院以〝煽动颠覆国家政权〞,判决顾义民有期徒刑18个月,剥夺 政治权利2年。


现年38岁的顾义民,在去年5月29号向警方递交游行申请,为纪念〝六四 24周年〞以及纪念已故湖南工运领袖李旺阳。6月2号,顾义民被刑事拘留,之后又被逮捕,罪名是涉嫌〝煽动颠覆国家政权罪〞。


顾义民案代理 律师刘卫国:〝根据中国 的宪法还是根据国际法,言论自由都是一个国家必须保障的公民权利,而且顾义民先生仅仅是发表了一个要求游行示威的这么一个帖子。〞


顾义民案代理律师刘卫国表示,如果申请游行示威也被视为犯罪的话,这个实际上就应该被废除了,不应该写在宪法中。


不过,〝六四〞参与 者郑存柱表示,〝六四〞问题 涉及到中共生死存亡问题,所以中共不惜一切对待〝六四〞问题。


民运 人士郑存柱:〝如果共产对六四重定性的话,它从25年前到现在它统治的合法性,我们就不要说从1949年 他们采用武力夺取中华民国政权的合法性了,就是从1989年 之后25年的合法性基础就不存在了,动摇了。〞


郑存柱指出,中共为了保护它的集权统治和特权利益,对〝六四〞一如既往的打压。


24号,总部设在伦敦的国际人权组织〝国际特赦〞发布新闻稿说,顾义民被判刑,标志着当局打压〝六四〞纪念活动的开始。〝国际特赦〞说,顾义民应该被无条件的马上释放。


今年的6月4号是〝六四事件 〞25周年,为唤起世人对〝六四〞的记忆,中国海内外早已掀起了各种纪念活动。


海外 发起了〝天下围城〞活动:有的从今年1月1号开始,进行全球性接力绝食;有的在《天下围城/六四25周年》〝脸书〞上,发表自己支持〝平反 六四〞的言论;有的在上建立签名网,要求中共当局公开〝六四〞等。


在中国大陆 的人也没有忘记〝六四〞。


今年2月2号,来自大陆各地的30位民间人士,在河南省滑县公祭前中共领导人赵紫阳 、胡耀邦和〝六四〞死难者。拉开了大陆民间纪念〝六四〞的序幕。


郑存柱认为,随着互联网的普及,中共难以阻挡更多的人知道真相,〝六四〞终将获得它应有的历史 地位。


郑存柱:〝当年出军镇压的正当性他们也不敢去说。所以它只是掩盖真相,不让年轻人知道。〞


但郑存柱指出,中共还会竭力掩盖真相,即使按着法律 程序去纪念,当局也会以莫须有的方式打压,甚至不顾法律。


中共惯用黑社会手段打压异己,这在顾义民案件上表露无遗。


如在法院外等待判决结果的顾义民朋友,遭到了不明人员的施暴。顾义民辩护律师刘卫国和何辉新上前制止时,这些人改对两位律师施暴,何辉新律师的眼镜被打掉,头也被打破。现场几十名警察无一人出面制止。


刘卫国:〝他们手上有法律、有武器,都不敢用,化装成流氓 来打律师,这也说明他们是处于一种极度恐惧的状态中。〞


刘卫国指出,黑社会手段不能让人屈服。他表示,当庭就有律师愿意做顾义民上诉的二审律师,愿意为他的法律权利继续进行抗争。

Gu Yumin Imprisoned by Chinese Regime for Asking Permission to Demonstrate


Last May, Chinese dissident Gu Yimin was arrested by local

authorities for the crime of “inciting subversion of state power.”

His arrest following an application for a demonstration to

commemorate the June 4 Tiananmen Square massacre.

Mr Gu was recently sentenced to 18 months imprisonment,

after the courts rejected his defense lawyers not guilty plea.

His two lawyers were also attacked after

the trial by people of unknown identity.

Reportedly, dozens of police

at the scene did not intervene.

Why is June 4 still a taboo subject for

the Communist regime 25 years later?


Let’s see the report.


On March 24, Changshu City Municipal Intermediate People’s

Court, in Jiangsu Province, delivered the verdict on Gu Yimin.

Gu Yimin was sentenced for the crime

of inciting subversion of state power.

He was given18 months imprisonment,

and deprived of political rights for two years.


On May 29 2013, 38-year-old Gu Yimin

applied for permission to hold a march in

commemoration of the 25th anniversary

of the June 4 Tiananmen Square massacre.

The march would also honor the

late labor leader Li Wangyang.

Mr Gu was detained on June 2, 2013, and arrested

on charges of inciting subversion of state power.


Liu Weigu, defense attorney of Gu Yimin: “Citizens’

rights to freedom of expression are protected according

to China’s Constitution, and under international law.


Mr. Gu Yimin had only posted an

online request for a demonstration.”


Lawyer Liu Weiguo argues that if an application

is also considered a crime, then the law

should be abolished from the Constitution.


However, June 4 participant Zheng Cunzhu indicates that

CCP is fighting against any commemoration of these events,

because it is related to the life and death of the regime.


Zheng Cunzhu: “If the CCP would reposition

the June 4 massacre, its ruling legitimacy

for the last 25 years ago would be shaken.


That is not to mention its ruling legitimacy since

1949, when the CCP took power through use of arms.”


Zheng Cunzhu explains that the CCP’s suppression of June

4 issue is to safeguard its authoritarianism and privileges.


On March 24, Amnesty International issued a press release.


“The authorities continue to stop

at nothing to bury the truth of 1989.”

Amnesty are demanding that “Gu Yimin should

be released immediately and unconditionally.”


This year marks the 25th anniversary

of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

To remind people of these events, commemorative activities

have taken place both inside China, and around the world.


The international “World Siege”

campaign was launched on January 1.

Activities include a global hunger strike relay, social media

campaigns in recognitiion of the June 4th Massacre, and

a petition of signatures on the White House website,

demanding the CCP publicize the truth about June 4.


People in mainland China have not forgotten the crackdown.


As a prologue, on February 2, thirty prominent people

gathered in Henan to pay tribute to former CCP leaders

Zhao Ziyang, Hu Yaobang, and victims of the crackdown.


Zheng Cunzhu indicates that the student movement

will eventually get the well deserved historical status.

The CCP won’t be able to stop people from

learning the truth in the era of the Internet.


Zheng Cunzhu: “They do not dare to claim

that the military repression was legitimate.

That’s why they cover up the truth

from younger Chinese generations.”


Zheng Cunzhu believes that the CCP will continue covering

up the truth, and suppress it in spite of it’s own laws.


Suppressing dissents by underhanded means has always

been a CCP tactic, and is fully displayed in Gu Yimin’s case.


Friends of Gu Yimin were also attacked by unidentified

persons, while waiting outside of the court for the verdict.

When the defense attorneys tried to stop this

violence, they became the target of the attacks.

Attorney He Huixin’s glasses were

knocked off and he sustained head injuries.

Dozens of police present at the scene

did not intervene to stop the violence.


Liu Weiguo: “They would not use the law and their arms,

but disguise themselves as hooligans to defeat lawyers.

That shows they are in a state of extreme fear.”


Liu Weiguo does not believe underhanded

means will ever persuade the Chinese people.

He says that another lawyer immediately volunteered to

serve as a defense lawyer for Gu Yimin’s second trial.

He wanted to continue his fight for legal rights.
