Six days after the death of Hu Yaobang, the deposed reform-minded
leader of the Chinese Communist Party, some 100,000 students
from more than 40 universities gathered at Beijing's
Tiananmen Square to commemorate Hu prior to his funeral.
They voiced their discontent with China's authoritarian
communist government, and called for greater democracy.
Ignoring government warnings of violent suppression
of any mass demonstration, the students were joined by
workers, academics, and civil servants.http://bit.ly/TiananmenSq
