PARIS — Rock concerts are planned in Paris, New York and at least four other cities on June 3 to commemorate the anniversary of the crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing, organizers said today.
Hong Kong, Taipei, Prague and Sao Paulo also will be concert venues, the organizers said. Top musicians will record a special version of John Lennon’s song “Imagine” in conjunction with the anniversary, they said.
No further details were disclosed.
The concerts were announced at a press conference called by the Federation for Democracy in China, a Paris-based dissident group, and by the French news magazine Actuel.
