AFP: China cracks down on rights activists

From iafrica.com: “Several dissidents who planned to commemorate the death of deposed Chinese leader Zhao Ziyang have been detained while other activists are under house arrest, they said on Monday.

Zhao, ousted for opposing the military crackdown on the 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests, died a week ago in a Beijing hospital aged 85. His funeral has yet to take place with his family and the government in dispute over what his biographical details should say.”
