Chinese Tabloid Censored for Printing Photo from 1989

From the BBC:

The photo – of two wounded young men being taken away on a rickshaw – was carried in Thursday’s Beijing News.

The picture was simply captioned “The Wounded”, and no mention of the protests was made in the text.

But observers suggest newspaper staff could face further punishment for broaching what remains a taboo subject.
