Recognizing the 17th anniversary of the massacre in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, in the People's Republic of China, and for other purposes.

Summary

Expresses sympathy to the families of those killed, tortured, and imprisoned as a result of their participation in the democracy protests of June 3-4, 1989, in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, in the People's Republic of China (PRC), and to all the people of China who lack fundamental human rights. Commends all persons who are peacefully advocating for democracy and human rights in China. Condemns the ongoing human rights abuses by the government of the PRC, and calls on that government to: (1) reevaluate the official verdict on the Tiananmen pro-democracy activities and order formal investigations into the reported killing, torture, and imprisonment of democracy activists; (2) release all prisoners of conscience; (3) end censorship of free speech on the Internet and persecution of Internet dissidents; (4) end persecution of Falun Gong; (5) end organ harvesting that is not voluntary; (6) end the coercive one-child policy; (7) grant the United Nations High Commission on Refugees access to all refugees, and end forcible repatriations of refugees, particularly to North Korea; (8) close "re-education through labor" camps; and (9) release Dr. Yang Jianli.
