The Norwegian Tibet Committee organized a protest outside the Chinese Embassy in Oslo to mark the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
The demonstration, held on Tuesday, honored the victims of the June 4, 1989 pro-democracy protests in Beijing and called for greater awareness and action against ongoing human rights abuses in China. Activists, supporters, and members of the Tibetan community gathered peacefully, displaying banners and chanting for justice for the Tiananmen victims. They also highlighted the plight of the Tibetan people, urging the international community to support Tibet and press China to respect human rights and democratic freedoms.
Known for advocating Tibetan independence and human rights, the Norwegian Tibet Committee timed the event to coincide with the massacre’s anniversary, emphasizing the interconnected struggles for freedom and justice. The Oslo protest is part of a global movement to commemorate the Tiananmen Square massacre and advocate for human rights in China, with similar events held worldwide to reflect the lasting impact of the 1989 protests and the international commitment to supporting democracy and human rights in China.
