LONDON (AP): Amnesty demands prisoners released.
Amnesty International demanded Wednesday that China account for
hundreds of prisoners arrested since the crackdown on pro-democracy
demonstrators in Beijing in June. The London-based human rights
group said it had sent a list of more than 650 names of Chinese
prisoners to Chinese Prime Minister Li Peng. “One year after the
killings in Beijing, the fate of those prisoners is still veiled in official
secrecy — but they are not forgotten,” Amnesty International said in
a written statement. “We know some of their names and we want to
know what has happened to them.” China has said 6,000 people were
arrested following weeks of pro-democracy demonstrations, which
were crushed by the military in June. Amnesty International
disputed that figure, saying a more accurate number is in the tens of
thousands.
