From Radio Free Asia: “Authorities in the Chinese capital have beaten and seriously injured a man for wearing a white flower in mourning for late ousted Party leader Zhao Ziyang, and they have arrested hundreds of others, Beijing residents said.
A petitioner from the central province of Henan was beaten after he wore a white mourning flower on a visit to the complaints office of the National People’s Congress last week, where hundreds of people line up daily seeking redress for grievances against the government.”
