On the night of June 3, 1989, the Chinese government sent tanks and troops to clear Tiananmen Square, which was occupied by students, workers, and others peacefully calling for greater democracy and an end to corruption. The troops clashed with civilians trying to block access to Tiananmen Square and fired on unarmed students and civilians, resulting in an unknown number of deaths and injuries. On the 19th anniversary of this violent crackdown, Human Rights in China (http://www.ir2008.org) is calling for truth and accountability in 2008 and beyond:

    1. Release detainees in detention in relation to the June Fourth crackdown

    2. Ratify the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

    3. Conduct an independent inquiry into the events of spring 1989

    4. Address the appeals of the Tiananmen Mothers

    5. Allow Tiananmen exiles to return
