From AFP, via Yahoo! News:
More than 100 relatives of people killed in the Tiananmen massacre have called on the government to apologize as the 16th anniversary of the tragedy approaches.
In an open letter by 125 relatives to President Hu Jintao, the Tiananmen Mothers group said the government’s recent accusations against Japan for failing to acknowledge its World War II atrocities were meaningless because it has not apologized for its own transgressions.
“You and your predecessors have wiped the memory of the June 4 massacre from the books and have covered up this despicable event from history,” the letter said.
