CHINA-INTERNAL: SECURITY CONTROLS/TAM
The Hongkong Free Press reported on June 6, 2017, that Chinese authorities only allowed two family members and prevented other mourners from visiting the grave of mainland Tiananmen activist Li Wangyang, who died five years ago under mysterious circumstances after being interviewed by Hong Kong media. The late activist’s sister Li Wangling told the Hong Kong newspaper Ming Pao that – as with previous years – only she and her husband Zhao Baozhu have been able to visit Li’s grave at Dashan Mountain Cemetery in Shaoyang, Hunan province. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China held a commemoration ceremony for Li Wangyang at Tsim Sha Tsui’s clock tower on June 6 evening. |
