呼籲釋放李明哲
On the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests, Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) urged Beijing to correct its “historical mistake” of denying the massacre to repent the brutal crackdown and immediately release Taiwanese human rights advocate Lee Ming-che.

MAC issued a statement on June 4th, saying that China has long been lacking the courage to reflect on the historical significance of the June Fourth Incident. Instead of correcting the mistake and apologizing to all the victims, China chooses to block information, distort the truth and continue to defend the massacre as a “correct decision”.

President Tsai Ing-wen said that it was a shame that although China’s economic development has improved over the past few years, human rights there are still limited. President Tsai also posted on Facebook, claiming that “Taiwan will never surrender to China as long as she remains Taiwan’s president.”
總統蔡英文也表示，雖然中國經濟在過去幾年不斷成長，但人權受限制的程度讓人感到遺憾。她也在臉書發文表示，只要她當總統一天，台灣絕不會在壓力下屈服。
