Deadlock over Zhao funeral plans

 40751473 Zhao Afp203B-1 From BBC NEWS: “Zhao Ziyang, who died on Monday after 15 years under house arrest, was sacked after opposing the suppression of pro-democracy protests in June 1989.

Sources in Mr Zhao’s family say there is still no agreement about what his funeral oration should say.

Meanwhile there are reports that a former Tiananmen protester who planned a march to mourn him has been detained.

It has been nearly a week since Zhao Ziyang died in a Beijing hospital.”
