今天，在奥运火炬到达旧金山的时候，我们湾区民运各界要同其他关心中国人权的人士共同表达我们的声音。我们希望真正的奥运精神的火炬，照亮中共政府人权记录的黑暗。

我们要在这里提醒全世界关心中国的人们，在今天的中国，政府还在施行酷刑，残杀，强行堕胎。
    今天的中国，普通民众的言论自由，信仰自由，集会自由还在被任意剥夺。中国所监禁的记者数目，超过了世界上任何国家。
    
    全世界都曾希望北京奥运会能够促使中国人权状况的改变，但是过去几个星期的事实正好相反。
    
    请记住胡佳，就在上星期，他被判刑三年半。胡佳是温和的人权活动家，也是中国最早的艾滋病患者维权人士和环境保护活动家。他被判刑，仅仅因为在网上发表了五篇要求人权的文章.他的女儿胡谦慈只有四个月，从生下的第一天，就和妈妈曾金燕被软禁。胡佳身患肝硬化，监禁等于谋杀。奥运的北京，为什么容不下一个胡佳？

    请记住杨春林，叶国柱，他们正在因为北京奥运会在监狱中遭受酷刑。
    请记住王炳章，因为从事民主运动，被中共政府绑架，终身监禁。
    
    请记住陈光诚，郭飞雄，胡石根，师涛，杨天水，秦永敏，许万平，杨子立，刘贤斌，王森，和中国所有的良心犯。
    
    请记住蒋捷连，1989年6月在北京被戒严部队枪杀，那时他只有十七岁，为了一个民主自由的中国而献身。和他同时蒙难的平民数目无法统计。在奥运火炬在北京经过的地方，中共政府曾经用坦克和刺刀杀戮手无寸铁的平民百姓。至今还有死难者没有找回。
    请记住丁子霖和天安门母亲.19年来， 她们一直在呼唤良知,寻求公义。
    
    让我们一起记住他们他们遭受的苦难. 让我们的行动表达他们无法的声音。我们也共同期待，有一天所有中国人能够有象我们今天这样自由表达的权利。

    Today, we join with thousands of others in San Francisco, and around the globe, to raise our voice in protest as the eve of the Beijing Olympics draws near.
    We speak in chorus with those who cannot, or who fear to do so, in China, and everywhere, to remind ourselves that freedom's arc has not yet encompassed all.
    We speak to remind each other that all these are still happening in today's China: summary executions, prison labor, forced abortions, etc. China is still a society where basic freedoms of conscience such as freedom of speech, freedom of religious practice, and freedom of assembly are severely restricted. There are more journalists in prison in China than any other country of the world.
    While the world has been hoping that the Olympic will help China improve its human rights record. The exact opposite has been confirmed by the events in the past several weeks.
    Remember Hu Jia, human rights advocate, friend of the AIDS suffers, environmentalist, sentenced to 3 and half years in prison on April 3 . His Wife Zeng Jinyan and four month old daughter Hu Qianci, are both under house arrest.
    
    Remember Yang Chunlin, 5 years in prison for linking human rights to Beijing Olympic.
    Remember Wang Bingzhang, life in prison for being leader of Chinese Democracy Movement.
    Remember Shi Tao, Remember Lu Gengsong, Remember Yang Tianshui, Remember Xu Wang Ping, Remember Liu Xianbin, Remember Wang Sen.
    Remember Zhu Yufu and Zhu Mao, father and son on trial today for Zhu Yufu's role as a founder of China Democratic Party.
    Remember thousands of the prisoners of conscience.
    Remember Jiang Jielian, one of hundreds shot and killed by the government in Beijing in June of 1989.
    Remember Tiananmen Mothers, still seeking truth and justice after their loved ones died 18 years ago.
    We remember them, remind the world of them with our actions today, and look forward to the day when China's inclusion in the world community extends to sharing the basic freedoms we hold dear and exercise now.
