Just in time for the Beijing Olympics, Ellen Bork of Freedom House, Tian Jian a student protester in China in 1989, and THE WEEKLY STANDARD’s own Philip Chalk have created this map documenting where pro-Democracy demonstrators were killed by the Chinese government in 1989.
Visitors to the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing will be in a city that fewer than twenty years ago was the site of a massacre of innocent civilians by their government. As you enjoy the athletic events and the sights of the city, you may find yourself at street corners, subway stops, in parks or near hospitals where ordinary Chinese men and women were murdered.
