BEIJING June 4, 1989 — It was early Summer in the capital city. Tens of thousands of ordinary citizens, many with their entire families, squatted on vacant public buildings and land and set up a makeshift village, at the foot of the seat of power, and in the shadow of important monuments.\n\nThey demanded an audience with their government and the passage of certain legislation.  To the heads of government and the press, they were agitators with a political agenda that threatened to disrupt and endanger the nation.\n\nAfter their demands were rejected, the protesters did not leave their encampments.  The head of government, refusing to meet with them, called on the national army to disperse the crowds.  Soldiers charged with bayonets while tanks and tear gas chased crowds and leveled tents and shacks.  Fires burned the camps to the ground.\n\nIn the aftermath, scores were dead, including at least two infants suffocated in the gas attack.  The total number killed remains unknown. \n\nTiananmen Square has been the site of demonstrations peaceful and violent for at least 150 years. Protests in Tiananmen in the early 1900s led to the fall of the last Imperial Dynasty (Ching or Qing). \n \nThe square was also where Mao Zedong proclaimed to the world that "The Chinese people have stood up" and announced the formation of the People's Republic on October 1, 1949. \n\nTiananmen Square is the largest public square on earth. It can be seen from space and is nearly a mile square in size. \n \nSince 1989 it has become a magnet for China's disaffected who gather there, alone or in small groups, to protest and even commit suicide. \n \nThe square is surrounded by buildings and compounds that house the most important offices of China's government \n\nThe Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing, is said to be the biggest square in the world. It is 880 meters from north to south, and 500 meters from east to west, with total area of 440,000 square meters and can hold one million people. The Tiananmen Gate Tower sites at the north, the Five-Star Red Flag flies high on the square, the Monument to the People's Heroes dominates the center, the Great Hall of the People and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution and the Museum of Chinese History to the east and west of it, as well as The Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and the Qianmen gate, sit in the south of the square. Over several hundred years, in front of the Tiananmen, many democracy meetings and demonstrations are held. Tens of thousands of people visit daily. The Square is listed top among Beijing's 16 scenic spots.\n \n \nThe Lions Before Tiananmen-- Facing Out\nAs the first gate of the Imperial City, the Tiananmen Gate was designed very grand and magnificent as befitted the supremacy of the emperor. Old Beijingers have deep feeling towards Tiananmen and there are quite a lot XIEHOUYU-- a kind of two-part allegorical sayings. THE LIONS BEFORE TIANANMEN-- SET FACING OUT uses the two huge stone lions standing at the end of the Jinshui (Golden Water) Bridge in front of Tiananmen Gate to describe two well-matched forces.\n\nHUABIAO and WANGJUNGUI and WANGJUNCHU\n\nA well-known architectural ornament in China is the huabiao, often seen on the grounds of palaces, imperial gardens and mausoleums. It is also seen at some crossroads to mark the throroughfares.\n\nThere is a pair of such ornamental pillars carved out of marble standing in front and behind Tian'anmen, the Gate of Heavenly Peace, at the centre of Beijing. Each pillar, entwined by a divine dragon engraved in relief, carried a plate on top called CHENGLUPAN for collecting dew£¬on which squats an animal called kong. This creature in Chinese mythology is supposed to be born of the dragon and good at keeping watch. It is generally referred to as the "stone lion." The four kong at Tian'anmen have different names, the two in front facing south and with their backs to the wall are called wangjungui

The world community began calling for the handover of Pol Pot, but in July 1997 the Khmer Rouge staged their own show trial, at which they sentenced Pol Pot to lifetime house arrest. The broadcasted trial gave the world its first glimpse of Pol Pot in nearly two decades—old, frail, and suffering from malaria.\n\nLess than a year later, on April 15, 1998, Pol Pot died, reportedly of a heart attack.\n\nLook below to find out what happened to the others

the movie is pretty damn accurate.  you can also watch a movie called "sometimes in april" also about the genocide.  check out romero dalierres (sp?) book called "shaking hands with the devil".  also check out a book that is titled something like "today we regret to inform you that we will be killed with our families:  stories from rwanda"  written by a journalist.  you can also check out "century of genocide".  for further research check out how similar the rwandan genocide was to the genocide in burundi twenty years before.  VERY VERY similar.  some trial information can be found on the UN website.  good luck.

I've linked several articles below for your review. 1st - Ethnic cleansing, 2nd is an overview on Allied war crimes, 3rd a specific record of the details on the previous posters Katyn massacre. There were significant atrocities committed before (1932-33 era in the Ukraine) and after (Stalin's pogroms) the war and with most focus on the Nuremberg trials a lot of Allied crimes either went un-or-under reported. Best of luck in your research, hope this helps.

I found this about Hwa Soeng:\nMohammed Bidduth and Kabir Uddin, leaders of a rally organized by members of the Equality Trade Union-Migrants Branch, were reportedly beaten. The two men were detained in Hwaseong Immigration Processing Centre for 80 days. They were released conditionally and told that they would have to leave the country by 20 January 2003.\n\nThat's from Amnesty International. They might be able to help.\nhttp://web.amnesty.org/contacts/engindex

A list for the Zionist massacres in Palestine from 1955 to 1994.\n\n\n\n\n74 - "Gaza" Massacre - 5 April 1956\n\nOn 5/4/1956, the Zionist invaders blasted with 120-mm mortars the center of the populated city of Gaza, which also housed a large number of refugees. The enemy artillery also bombarded the villages of "Deir Al-Balah", "Absan" and "Khaza'a". The casualties were 60 martyrs, including 27 women, 29 men and four children, and 93 injured, including 32 women, 53 men and 8 children.(96)\n\n75 - "Gaza" Massacre - 15 April 1956\n\nOn 15/4/1956, the Zionists blasted Gaza Hospital with artillery. The brutal bombardment killed 13 children, 18 women and 31 men, and injured 82, including 26 children, 25 women and 31 men.(97)\n\n76 - "Qalqilya" Massacre - 10 October 1956\n\nQalqilya is a Palestinian Arab town, 16 kilometers southwest of the city of Tulkarm.\n\nThe Massacre: On 10/10/1956, a Zionist force estimated at an infantry battalion and an armored battalion backed by field artillery and ten fighter-planes attacked the town from three directions. The attackers cut the telephone lines and mined some roads. The attack was foiled thanks to the fierce resistance of the town's National Guard and the residents, which astonished the enemy. However, the enemy attackers returned once more following an intensive bombardment, in which fighter-planes took part. The Zionists then entered the town firing haphazardly without distinction. They also blew up some houses over the heads of their occupants. The massacre resulted in 70 martyrs, including many women, children and elderly peop1e.(98)\n\n77 - "Kafr Qassem" Massacre - 29 October 1956\n\nKafr Kassem is a Palestinian Arab village in the district of Tulkarm. It had a population of 1460; its area was 58 donums, and its land area was 12765 donums.\n\nThe Massacre: On 29/10/1956, the day the tripartite aggression started against Egypt, the Zionist officer Shmuel Milinki, a commander of a unit of the 'border guards', was ordered to impose a curfew on some villages, including Kafr Qassem. Milinki informed his officers that the war had started and he explained to them the duties assigned to them, namely to implement the curfew order firmly without any arrests. He told them: "it is desirable to have some of the village inhabitants killed". A detachment of this unit was stationed at the western entrance of the village, while other detachments were deployed around and inside the village.\n\nAt 4.30 PM, the village headman was summoned to be informed about the curfew order to go into effect at 5.00 PM. He was asked to notify the village inhabitants. The headman replied that some of the villagers work in their fields outside the village, and therefore, the half hour left is not enough to pass the word about the curfew. The unit officer gave his word and that of the government to the headman promising safe passage to all the returning villagers.\n\nFew minutes before 5.00 PM, the massacre started from the western side of the village (99). In other words, the massacre started prior to sunset and continued for over seven hours until half hour after midnight. Lieutenant 'Gabriel Dahan' had ordered his men to open fire in order to kill any person who would be outside his home after 5.00 PM, with no distinction between the men, women or children returning to their villages. Killing started in batches. The soldiers ordered the villagers to stand in one line. Corporal "Shalom Ofer" shouted "Mow them down". Entire families were killed, other villagers were killed on their carts, others while on foot. The murderers killed 14 women in one lot. Children and old persons were not spared. The toll of the massacre was 49 martyrs (100). Among the children were eleven boys 112 to 16 years old. Two boys were killed while grazing the sheep with one of their relatives. Three girls 12-14 years old w

The summer Olympic games, during which Arab terrorists belonging to the PLO faction called Black September snuck into the athletes village, captured nine Israeli hostages and after their demands for the freedom of 200 Arab prisoners and safe passage out of Germany were not met, they accepted a deal to take helicopters to the airport at a NATO airbase, where they and the hostages would be flown to Cairo.\n\nAfter the helicopters landed at the air base around 10:30 p.m., German sharpshooters attempted to kill the terrorists and a bloody firefight ensued. At 11, the media was mistakenly informed that the hostages had been saved and the news was announced to a relieved Israeli public. Almost an hour later, however, new fighting broke out and one of the helicopters holding the Israelis was blown up by a terrorist grenade. The remaining hostages in the second helicopter were shot to death by one of the surviving terrorists.\n\nAt 3 a.m., a drawn and teary-eyed Jim McKay, who had been reporting the drama throughout the day as part of ABC's Olympic coverage, announced: "They're all gone."\n\nFive of the terrorists were killed along with one policeman, and three were captured. A little over a month later, on Oct. 29, a Lufthansa jet was hijacked by terrorists demanding that the Munich killers be released.\n\nThe Germans capitulated and the terrorists were let go, but an Israeli assassination squad was assigned to track them down along with those responsible for planning the massacre. According to George Jonas in Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team, eight of the 11 men targeted for death were killed. Of the remaining three, one died of natural causes and the other two were assassinated, but it is not known for sure if they were killed by Israeli agents.
