New School for Democracy Announces Rebuilding #PillarofShame in #Taiwan: "One Pillar Falls, Thousands More Will Be Raised"
In December 2021, #TiananmenMassacre memorials in three universities across Hong Kong were taken down within 48 hours. They included the Pillar Of Shame in the University of Hong Kong (#HKU).
On December 24, 2021, Taiwan's New School for Democracy announced their plan to rebuild the pillar at the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. They will also invite the pillar's creator #JensGalschiøt to unveil it on the June 4 night vigil in 2022.
"HKU tore down one pillar, but thousands more are being raised across the world," said the School. A 3D scan of the original pillar at HKU has been made available online for download.
The New School for Democracy also held a press conference titled "Don't Trample Human Rights and Affections with 'National Security'", in which they voiced their solidarity with Chinese human rights activists Zhang Zhan, Guo Feixiong, and Tang Jitian. The group called on Beijing to release the the three detained activists and let them be reunited with their families.
President of the New School for Democracy Association Zeng Jianyuan decried HKU's actions as destroying the university's spirit of autonomy.
Destroying "the Pillar of Shame for June 4", as he called it, is equivalent to erecting an invisible pillar of shame for academic freedom. Zeng announced that the Pillar will be rebuilt in Taiwan, and it will carry the memories of the Tiananmen Massacre as well as Hong Kong's Anti-ELAB movement.

Pro-democracy artists and activists arranged shipment of banned books in Hong Kong to US
Following the imposition of the National Security Law (#NSL) in Hong Kong in 2020, the local government launched a series of attempts to erase citizens' memories of the June 4th massacre in Beijing in 1989.
Yet, in mid-February this year, around 100 boxes of books and collaterals concerning the June 4th massacre, weighed over 8,000 pounds, had been successfully shipped out of Hong Kong to the Liberty Sculpture Park in California, USA.
The collection of books and historical archives will be kept at the "Victims of Communism Memorial" of Liberty Sculpture Park for public viewing in the future.
Chen Wai-ming, a representative of the Park, told reporters that these precious contemporary literatures and biographies, covering the truth of the June 4th massacre and crimes of the Communist Party, have been banned in Hong Kong.
Possessing these materials could bring troubles and even criminal risks to their owners.

Mourning a Painful History – Respect For Human Rights Has No Geopolitical Borders
By Translated by Guardians of Hong Kong October 17, 2021 • 1 February 2022
The year 2021 marked the 32nd anniversary of the June 4th crackdown in Tiananmen Square. However commemorative activities in Hong Kong were unprecedentedly suppressed. Not only the candlelight vigil was banned for the second consecutive year, but also 26 pan-democrats attending the vigil the year before despite the ban were charged [added in translation: for inciting others to take part in unauthorized assembly] and even jailed. Looking back in history, be it war crimes or state violence, in many instances to hold those accountable for human rights infringements and to bring justice to the victims will take years or even generations.
