即時發布 逾千人齊聚 David Lam Park 紀念六四37週年 溫哥華，2026年6月4日 —— 約1,000名市民今晚齊集 David Lam Park，參加由溫哥華支援民主運動聯合會（溫支聯，VSSDM）主辦的六四37週年燭光晚會。今年活動以： 「毋忘六四 悼念無罪」 “Never Forget June 4 – Commemorating Tiananmen is Not a Crime”為主題，悼念1989年6月4日在北京天安門事件中遇難的民眾，並向今天仍因堅持歷史真相而遭受打壓的人士表達支持與聲援。 雖然今晚天氣清涼且多雲，但無阻市民參與。來自不同族裔及背景的參加者攜家帶眷出席，共同點燃燭光，追思六四死難者，並重申對自由、人權、民主及歷史記憶的堅持。 活動於下午4時開始，設有六四歷史展覽、香港民主運動展覽、書籍及紀念品攤位，以及「寫信給在囚人士」活動，讓公眾了解六四事件及香港近年的民主發展歷程。 晚上7時，燭光晚會正式開始。參加者手持燭光，在莊嚴肅穆的氣氛下悼念六四死難者，並向所有因追求民主、自由及人權而付出代價的人士致敬。 近年來，香港的六四紀念活動遭到全面打壓。曾連續三十多年舉辦六四燭光晚會的維多利亞公園，如今已無法再舉行公開悼念活動。香港民主派人士鄒幸彤及李卓人等人，因參與及呼籲紀念六四而被控相關罪名並長期還押，事件引起國際社會廣泛關注。 溫支聯主席Edmund Leung 表示:「當維園的燭光被迫熄滅，我們更有責任在自由的土地上把燭光傳承下去。今天，我們能夠在加拿大自由地集會、悼念和講述歷史真相，這份自由得來不易。我們希望透過每年的紀念活動，讓下一代了解這段歷史，並明白自由、人權與民主從來不是理所當然。」 今年約1,000人的參與，再次證明即使37年過去，六四的歷史記憶並未被遺忘。參加者以和平理性的方式表達對歷史真相的堅持，並重申悼念六四是一項基於良知的和平行動，更是每個人應享有的基本權利。 溫支聯衷心感謝所有出席者、義工、講者、表演嘉賓及支持團體的參與和付出，共同成就了今年的紀念活動。 紀念不僅關乎歷史，更關乎當下與未來。 關於溫哥華支援民主運動聯合會(溫支聯） 溫哥華支援民主運動聯合會（VSSDM）成立多年，一直致力推動民主、人權、自由及歷史記憶工作，並持續舉辦六四紀念活動，悼念1989年天安門事件死難者，以及聲援中國及香港爭取民主自由的人士。

溫哥華民主女神像建立的中共干預及鬥爭經過。 (3 of 3) 當北京學生在八九年掀起的民主運動，震動全球. 當時「溫哥華支援民主聯合會-溫支聯」， 與本地卑詩省大學-University of British Columbia的學生會聯繫. 希望可以為紀念北京的學生運動，而在大學內，竪立民主女神像. 當時中國領事館也試圖向大學當局施壓，不容許民主女神像的竪立。 大學的學生會是獨立運作的，政策自主. 這個行動成功，Calgary的民主運動朋友也與Calgary大學聯繫。 所以大家今日所見，這個北京民主女神像，可以在BC省及Alberta來豎立。多倫多支聯會，亦在多倫多竪立民主女神像。

溫哥華民主女神像建立的中共干預及鬥爭經過。 （2 of 3) 溫哥華支援民主聯合會-溫支聯，在八九，六四後，正式向「溫哥華公園 局Parks Board」提出，要在溫哥華其中一個公園竪立Goddess of Democracy「民主女神像」. 雖然溫哥華市長已在1989年6月20日，宣佈「溫哥華市為北京天安門死難者哀悼日」，當時中國駐溫哥華領事館也提出強烈反對。 這個要求竟然被已轉軚為北京政權說話的， 當時溫哥華市市議員余宏榮，也同一口徑地，反對在溫哥華竪立民主女神像。 這些關於華人社區的新聞， 當時就已經暴露了中共干預加拿大政治，是多麼猖獗。 這就是在海外民運組織，為爭取中國人權、民主的運動，正式開始了。 跟住這幾十年就是海外香港人及加拿大華裔，在海外進行的人權教育及政策游說的工作了。

溫哥華民主女神像建立的中共干預及鬥爭經過。 (1 of 3) 當1989，「64天安門屠殺」之後，溫哥華華人社區包括「中華會館」，「中華文化中心」，「中僑互助會」，三個具代表性嘅華人社區機構，一齊聯合舉辦「Vancouver Mourns Bejing 哀悼北京事件」- 全僑追悼天安門死難者大會，三個團體主席及代表紛紛致訶，哀悼天安門學生、北京市民死難者及譴責北京罪行。 不到一個月，除咗「中僑互助會」，堅持指責中共的違反人權罪行之外，兩個組織迅速轉軚。他們的藉口，指出北京天安門事件過程模糊不清，難分是非。 所以大家見到90年後，當時的華人區對「華埠」，的冷淡對待，就知道華人社區的良知反應。

燭光可以被禁止，記憶不能被熄滅 三十年的維園燭海， 見證無數人對真相與良知的堅持。 今天，維園沉寂，悼念者被檢控。 這是值得我們深思的： 當有人不能自由紀念六四， 我們更不能選擇遺忘。 6月4日，讓我們一起點亮燭光。 毋忘六四　悼念無罪 📍 June 4 (Thursday) — 7:00 PM Candlelight Vigil 六四燭光晚會 📍 Location 地點: David Lam Park, 1300 Pacific Blvd, Vancouver https://www.facebook.com/share/17jjHoxa9t/

Those warnings have now been echoed at the highest levels of American national security. At the Canada Strong and Free conference in Ottawa last week, former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described the Chinese Communist Party’s inside-the-gates operations in Canada and the United States as the primary threat facing Western democracies — more immediate, he argued, than the prospect of a military invasion of Taiwan. Another American expert, Michael Lucci of State Armor, at the same conference, specifically cited the Ministry of Public Security’s role in running covert repatriation and repression networks, the same apparatus Carney’s government has now formalized a cooperation agreement with. The Bureau has documented transnational repression operations on Canadian soil in granular detail — the coordinated campaign against pro-democracy candidate Joe Tay, including a Hong Kong police bounty, mock wanted posters, and a Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force warning issued one week before the federal election. Kwan’s letter does not mince its assessment of where responsibility lies. The government has chosen transparency on trade and culture agreements signed in the same Beijing visit while withholding the one agreement that carries the gravest implications for the safety of Canadian citizens, she argues.

NDP's Jenny Kwan Demands Ottawa Release Secret Police Deal With Beijing, Calling Continued Secrecy a Threat to Diaspora Safety Sam Cooper May 13, 2026 OTTAWA — A senior New Democratic Party parliamentarian has formally demanded that the Carney government release the full text of its secret law enforcement agreement with China’s Ministry of Public Security, echoing a set of facts The Bureau has been reporting for months, while warning that Ottawa’s continued refusal to disclose the deal is fueling legitimate fear among diaspora communities who have experienced or fear transnational repression by the Chinese state. Jenny Kwan, MP for Vancouver East and one of Parliament’s most prominent voices on Hong Kong and Chinese diaspora issues, wrote to Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree and Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand on May 12, calling the government’s silence on the agreement “particularly troubling” given what she described as the “problematic history of China’s foreign interference in Canada.” “I’m calling on Mark Carney govt to stop hiding RCMP–MPS MOU signed in Beijing,” Kwan posted to X. “Reports that RCMP needs Beijing’s “permission” to show this MOU to Canadians are a threat to our sovereignty.” The letter, addressed to both ministers, focuses on the memorandum of understanding on cooperation in combating crimes signed between the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Ministry of Public Security during Prime Minister Mark Carney’s January 2026 visit to Beijing. Kwan noted a troubling asymmetry. The government has publicly released other agreements signed during the Beijing visit — including the Canada-China Economic and Trade Cooperation Roadmap and a memorandum of understanding on culture — but has declined to proactively disclose the police cooperation agreement, despite what she called its “significant implications for public safety, civil liberties, diaspora communities, and national sovereignty.” “Without seeing the formal written arrangement,” Kwan wrote, “widespread uncertainty and legitimate concern” has been created among Canadians, “particularly within Hong Kong, Uyghur, Tibetan, and broader Chinese diaspora communities who have experienced or fear transnational repression by the Chinese state.” Kwan’s letter is the latest in a widening chorus of alarm that now spans diaspora organizations, independent researchers, American national security officials, and Parliament itself — and it lands directly on ground The Bureau has been reporting for months. The Bureau was first to report the national security implications of the memorandum of understanding, drawing on classified documents and expert analysis to establish that the Ministry of Public Security is not a neutral law enforcement counterpart. It is the same apparatus that Canada’s own National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians documented running covert operations on Canadian soil — including unauthorized trips to Canada, payments to Chinese-language journalists to locate and track dissidents, and the arrest of relatives in China to coerce compliance from targets on Canadian soil. The Bureau reported in February on an extraordinary open letter from ten Hong Kong diaspora organizations spanning four countries, expressing “deep fear and anxiety” over the agreement and warning that even the perception of closer engagement between Canadian agencies and Chinese security authorities chills free expression, civic participation, and journalism among vulnerable communities. That letter, like Kwan’s, went unanswered in any substantive public way by the Carney government. Former senior RCMP officer Garry Clement, writing in these pages, warned that cooperation with the Ministry of Public Security “is never just technical, never apolitical, and never insulated from the priorities of the Chinese Communist Party” — and described in operational detail how liaison relationships erode caution over time, how criminal labels are applied to political targets, and how information shared in good faith migrates to coercive ends.
