1. Calls for independent probe of Tiananmen massacre as China quashes debate
EIJING (AFP) - Human rights groups called for an independent inquiry on the eve of the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, with all debate on the issue in China quashed, dissidents under house arrest and phone lines cut.

Amnesty International led the charge in a strongly worded statement demanding those responsible for the deaths of hundreds, some say more than a thousand, must be held responsible.

"Those found responsible should be tried and brought to justice," the London-based group said.

Amnesty "calls on the government to release all those who are still held in connection with the Tiananmen crackdown and who never received fair trials," it added.

The group has records of more than 50 people it believes remain imprisoned in China for their part in the protests, a number which is thought to be "a fraction of the true figure" and one never released by the authorities, the statement said.

I know, the Communist can organize and independent inquiry with members;
1. Jackie 'Whore' Chan
2. Neil 'Whore' Bush
3. Mikie 'Whore' Chinoy

we all can trust them!
