BBC: China Diplomat Makes Asylum Plea

From BBC, via Turkish Weekly:

A senior Chinese diplomat who left his job at his country’s consulate-general in Sydney has addressed a rally to commemorate the Tiananmen events.

“I feel very unsafe,” he told a crowd of several hundred people in Sydney.

“In 16 years, the Chinese government has done nothing for political reform. People have no political freedom, no human rights,” he added.
