Tiananmen remembered on the Web Amnesty International has posted an interactive presentation on its Web site to commemorate the Tiananmen Square massacre in China seven years ago. The presentation, which can be downloaded on to floppy disk, is aimed at reaching a Chinese audience which may not previously have had access to information on the group's activities. Earlier this year, Amnesty International began a worldwide campaign on human rights in China. The Tianan-men presentation is part of a week-long activity surrounding the 4 June anniversary of the 1989 events, pictured above. "Electronic media can cross international boundaries more easily than print. However, we are aware that many governments, including China, recognise this by trying to censor the Internet," said the human rights group. Amnesty International has been using the Internet to communicate its human rights campaigns to a worldwide audience since 1987. The presentation is available free of charge at http://www. amnesty.org. |
