Week of June 8, 2009<\/strong><\/p>\n

News Item<\/strong>: June 4th marked the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre of students and other pro-democracy demonstrators who had sought political, social, and economic reforms against the Chinese government. Although similar events had taken place throughout China, media coverage was spotlighted in Beijing with over a million people participating. During the evening and early morning hours of June 3 and 4, 1989, armed military troops and tanks attacked protestors in the Square killing and injuring thousands. The Chinese government has since banned public memorials of the protests with some news outlets recently reporting that social networking and email outlets, such as Twitter, Flickr, and Hotmail, have been blocked as a way of censoring access to information about the Tiananmen incidents.<\/p>\n
