Zou Xingtong: Persevering in mourning for non-"lightweight promises"
In the gloom of the National Security Law, Zou Xingtong emphasized that in the past 31 years, persisting in mourning June 4 "is not a flamboyant promise, not a promise that is not prepared to pay." He also pointed out that domestic human rights activists have done minor things and may face 3 to 3 years. Four years of imprisonment, "If you are not prepared to pay, you will not do this in the first place", stressing that the promise will not be retreated due to pressure. Even if the government "unreasonably suppresses" or they forcefully arrest them, they are willing to bear it, stressing that Tiananmen mothers are walking along.
At about 4 in the afternoon, more than a dozen police officers arrived at the scene and surrounded the Stake Street Station for a while, accusing them of unauthorized fundraising. The police officers questioned Zou Xingtong and others.
After more than ten minutes of disturbance, the Stake Association explained to the police officers and put away the plastic boxes used to collect postcards. The officers then left the scene and the street station continued.
Another group withdrew from the Civic Party Li Zhiqiang office two weeks ago.
