On April 4, 2015, the Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS) council held a meeting participated in by its 5 council members. At the meeting it was resolved and confirmed to hold the annual commemoration of the June 4 Massacre in front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC, USA (address: 3505 International Pl NW, Washington, DC 20008-3025, USA) on Saturday, May 30, 2015. This gathering will be the 26th consequent yearly commemoration lead by the IFCSS in memory of the heroes and victims of the June 4 Massacre in the 1989 pro-democracy movement. During the same event, the IFCSS shall reveal its 2015 annual "Spirit of Freedom Award" winner and give its award dedication. Hereby, the IFCSS is calling for nominations for this year's candidates from the whole society.
The IFCSS invites everyone in the community to participate in our commemoration to be held in the park in front of the Chinese embassy in Washington DC on the evening of May 30, 2015 from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. We will express our grievance for the victims of the June 4 Massacre in 1989 and to strive for the early realization of human rights and democracy in China. (The address of the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC is: 3505 International Pl NW, Washington, DC 20008, USA. There is meter parking on the roadside of Van Ness by the embassy which is free during the weekend. There is also a parking garage across Van Ness on the north side of the road.) The IFCSS welcomes the public to participate and organizations that support democracy and freedom in China to co-sponsor our event as well.
The "Spirit of Freedom Award" was established by an IFCSS Council resolution in 2001. It aims to recognize and celebrate Chinese citizens who are not afraid of authoritarian terror and contemptuous of totalitarian violence, who have the spirit to call for freedom with conscience, sacrificing even their lives. The "Spirit of Freedom Award" has always been open to accept nominations from the whole community. The nominees and winners should be residing in China.
Since the "Spirit of Freedom Award" was awarded for the first time in 2001 to Mr. Song Zhongqiu, who was at the end of his life with terminal cancer yet raised his voice and publicly announced quitting the Communist Party, the IFCSS has been announcing the awardees during its June 4 commemoration every year. Other awardees include:
In 2006 to the 3 Gentlemen who unprecedentedly challenged Mao Zedong, which was praised as "a magnificent feat of the 1989 pro-democracy movement";
In 2010 to Dr. Wang Bingzhang who as a pioneer had promoted the democracy movement from overseas for many years;
In 2011 to the famous artist Ai Weiwei who speaks for "the vulnerable groups with fear";
And in 2012 to Mr. Li Wangyang, who was the chairman of the Shaoyang Independent Workers' Union of Hunan Province, and thus received a 13-year prison sentence and long time persecution of the Communist regime until his mysterious death.
Last year, it was awarded to the outspoken writer Mr. Li Chengpeng and activist Mr. Liu Xianbin.
Regarding the nominations and details of the IFCSS "Spirit of Freedom Award", please call Dr. Lu at 1(302) 312-6840. The IFCSS welcomes the community to actively participate in the nomination. Nominations may be e-mailed to: ifcss64@AOL.com and pingwang88@hotmail.com; or snail mailed to: Ciping Huang c/o IFCSS, PO Box 15449, Washington, DC 20003, USA.
