TianAnMen: Rulers Silence Wall

Source: http://tiananmen07.googlepages.com/home

The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, commonly referred to as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, were a series of demonstrations led by students, intellectuals, and labour activists in the People's Republic of China (PRC) between April 15 1989 and June 4 1989. In Beijing, the military crackdown on the protesters by the PRC government left many civilians dead or injured. The toll ranges from 200–300 (PRC government figures), to 400–800 by The New York Times, and to 2,000–3,000 (Chinese student associations and Chinese Red Cross).

No one knows how many died alongside him. Government repression has been so complete that the number of victims remains a mystery.

rodster's thoughts:

it explains some of the history and context of the Tiananmen Square massacre and lists those who died. (from the Beijing Workers Autonomous Federation, the Tiananmen Mothers, students, artists and journalists ).
It also covers the collaboration of western countries in the tragedy. eg the decision by Google to censor thier site in China.
