Tiananmen 1989 - Seven weeks that shook the world

"They just open fire, and bodies dropped. Bodies just dropped, time and time again. People would get up again and tey would go forward, with red flags sometimes, sometimes with bricks, sometimes just shouting. They would go down again. Tey would go up again. The troops were shooting everybody."

With these words, Stpehen Jolly from Australia decribes what he and his chinese friends saw on the streets of Beijing on the night of 3-4 June 1989. 

The June 4th massacre required the mobilisation of 200 000 soldiers, almost as many as George Bush deployed for his 2003 inbasion of Iraq. To this day, the Beijing regime is haunted by the legacy of "6/4" and the ideals it evokes. 

Stephen Jolly's eyewitness account is republiched with material by Vincent Kolo and Chen Mo.
