TO: The mothers of the June Fourth Massacre victims
On the occasion of the 11th Anniversary of June Fourth Massacre, AFAD, a federation among Asian countries struggling for a world free from human rights abuses with special stress on involuntary disappearances, expressed its solidarity with the victims of June Fourth Massacre.
Involuntary disappearances have become one of the
most worrisome concerns of the present day world threatening the very existence of civilized society . It is an act of intimidation, seeking to subjugate the people and civil society creating a fear psychosis

We share your agony and sorrow and assure you that we are with you in your glorious struggle for justice for the victims and no impunity for the perpetrators. We have a common cause and therefore, we need a common struggle. Let us pledge . that we will continue our struggle for a world free from involuntary disappearances and human rights abuses. We also have to continue our struggle to ensure punishment for the perpetrators.
