Activist beaten in China Cemetary
75 year old Chinese professor Sun Wenguang was beaten in a Jinan Cemetary after he "chose to commemorate the wrong death." He is now in ahospital with three broken ribs and injuries to his spine, head, back, arms and legs. The group said the attack on Mr. Sun was part of a concerted effort by the Chinese government to head off any efforts to memorialize the deaths of hundreds of Tiananmen Square protesters

For an event that happened so long ago it seems absurd to continue to punish citizens for recognizing their death. even if this man wasn't commemorating the death of a fallen citizen that was present at Tienanmen square he has every right to be at that cemetery and his reason should be his own.
