The government needs to paologize for their horrible actions in 1989 and for their treatment of the Tiananmen Mothers. |

China is a well respected nation and is changing rapidly. Please acknowledge the importance human rights issues such as these play in your countries growth, integration and respect on the world stage. |

Only by not cutting off citizens' ability to gather together and not silencing them for any manner of free expression can you reap the benefits of their many potentials as a society; this intellectual backbone of China's known worldwide for centuries. There is no dishonour or weakness in compassion and truth, but the treatment of Ding Zilin, her family, the Tiananmen Mothers and all associated people who lost everything in 1989 is a highly visible international disgrace. I hope the more relaxed tone of June 2007's activities will set the tone for a more open future, and that you will be strong enough to follow the requests set forth in the petition, including the release of innocent prisoners, a full, impartial inquiry, and an open media. Move on and move forward! The world is watching and your actions speak louder than words. Thank you. |

The reputation of your country and your government depends on how you treat people who behave within the accepted standards of legal expression such as freedom of speech and expression. |

I look forward to the days when China is known around the world for respecting their citizen and not just for the economic growth. Why not see the growth in human rights as well? |

We all understand that Tiananmen is a shame for China, but it is even more shameful to hinder people to protest 23 years later. |

I grieved when I heard what was happening in Tiananmen Square in 1989. I grieve today when I hear that the families of those killed then are forbidden to acknowledge the death of their loved ones. I ask the leaders of China today to show a different face to the world by allowing these families to grieve openly and to offer an impartial inquiry into the events of that time. |

I guess China hasn't quite grown into her world status if she can't respect the need of people to exercise the human rights they are, by virtue of their humanity, allowed to exercise! I guess China is going to come into the 21st Century kicking and screaming like the petulant child she is! I feel very sorry for the citizens of China who are systematically being punished in all sorts of ways by this uncaring and unworldly country! |

Surely your desire is to have a country filled with healthy citizens. Please do NOT punish parents for grieving the loss of a child, that is just plain cruel, inhumane, and unwise. Grieving for a lost loved one is part of a process of healing. Please, let your mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers grieve.

I felt such sadness when I heard that your government was trying to silence the Tiananmen mothers. Eventually the pointless deaths of so many bright young people will have to be publicly acknowledged so that healing can happen. Listen to your mothers- they always know what's best. |

Please listen to what the world is sayling. When a country tries to silence their population it means they have something to hide. Our government in Canada apologized to the Native population about injustices that they faced years ago. It was the right thing to do so that healing could begin. |

Nothing should come between the love of a mother and her son. It is immoral to disrupt her from grieving. It is shameful. Let her be. |

I realize I am from a different country but at the same time please just think that this is a mother who needs to grieve for her son that was murdered. She doesnt deserve to be treated this way, she hasnt done anything wrong. This is just cruel and unacceptable. Please stop this behavior immediately |

Please consider compassion. Controlling your population will only lead to another revolt. Humans are meant to be free. It is a gift which I pray will be finally allowed for my sisters and brothers in China. |

Mothers around the world support Tiananmen Mothers' right to grieve and gather in public. China's national character can be seen by the world through the government's treatment of its citizens. |

Freedom of speech is a basic human right. A free exchange of ideas helps keep the light shining in the dark places on earth and brings us closer to where we are meant to live - in peace. |

Restricting freedom of speech only makes your government look cruel to the rest of the world. Please stop this harassment. |

China and the world still grieves the Tiananmen Square incident. We all have it forever vividly imprinted in our memories. The memory of that young man courageously standing in the path of the tank. You should be proud of the courage, compassion, justice and intellects that your Chinese citizens demonstrate. Allow the Mothers and Fathers to openly grieve and mourn the loss of their precious children. You are someone's precious child. We are all someone's precious child. We must all live in compassion and forgiveness and love of our fellow human beings. Life is valuable and life must be valued above all else. To be a ruler who is loved by the citizens makes for much greater power and harmony than to be a ruler who is feared and hated by the citizens. Choose Love. Choose Forgiveness for yourself and for them. Choose Humanity and Choose Life over Power. China has given birth to some very great, eloquent and wise human beings.

It is incredible that 23 years later, your government is still imprisoning the former youth of China who protested for more democracy. What possible harm can releasing these long suffering people cause you? I watched the televised massacre in 1989 with horror - these people deserve justice as do their families. Give them all their freedom - including the right to freedom of expression, associate and assembly. Peaceful public words and displays of dissent don't topple governments. |

I am haunted by the human losses sustained during the Tiananmen Square demonstrations in 1989. Ding Zilin must be allowed to grieve her lost son and engage in human rights activities without fear of persecution. |

As a healthcare provider and concerned citizen in Canada I hope you will take the action needed to allow these mothers and fathers to grieve and for a pulblic discussion to occur regarding the events of June 3-4th 1989 in Tiananmen Square. |
