The Tiananmen Mothers are a group of around 130 human rights defenders, mainly women, whose children and other close relatives were killed or injured in the military crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations on 3-4 June 1989. The Group has compiled the names of more than 180 people who were killed and at least 70 injured, although the true number is believed to run into hundreds.
The Tiananmen Mothers regularly call on the Chinese authorities to allow families of the victims to mourn in public, to end persecution of victims and their families, to release all those still imprisoned in connection with the 1989 protests and to implement a full and open inquiry. As a result, they have been subjected to harassment, discrimination and arbitrary detention.
