Chinese authorities released two of the three detained “Tiananmen Mothers” on Saturday, April 2. The two women, Zhang Xianling and Huang Jinping, have arrived home safely.

According to Liu Xiaobo, writer and democracy activist in China, Jiang Peishen, the husband of the third detained woman, spoke with Zhang and was informed of their safety. Jiang’s wife, Ding Zilin, the most outspoken of the three, is still in police custody.

Ding was arrested in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, while visiting family graves. Liu said Ding’s housekeeper had not heard from her since her arrest. Zhang and Huang were arrested in Beijing. The Chinese government did not give a reason for their arrest.

The three women were arrested on March 28 after submitting a video testimony to the United Nations Human Rights Commission on the June 4 Tiananmen Massacre. In their appeal, they requested the right to openly mourn their lost family members and to accept humanitarian donations. They also urged the Chinese government to stop harassing victims’ family members, to release all prisoners of conscience related to the June 4 massacre, and to investigate and make public the truth of the incident.

Ding, Zhang and Huang each lost a child in the massacre. After the death of her 17-year-old son, Ding, a college professor, formed “Tiananmen Mothers” to urge the Chinese government to redress the Tiananmen verdict. According to Human Rights in China, the Chinese government has accused the “Tiananmen Mothers” of threatening national safety and subversion of state power.
