Chinese Dissidents Commemorate June 4th in Henan, China

According to Voice of America, 30 dissidents in China gathered at Henan Province to openly commemorate Zhao Ziyang, Hu Yaobang, and those who died during the 1989 today. The rural location happens to be the birthplace of Zhao Ziyang.

They displayed a giant mural that included a picture of 1989 protest at Tiananmen as well as the sensitive words "June 4" (6 - 4), marking the day of the massacre.

This is the second time such open commemorative activities have been organized in China. There were plain-cloth policemen monitoring the scene but the government took no action to hinder or interfere the proceedings.
