Father of slain Tiananmen massacre protestor kills himself over failure to get justice | | The father of a man, who was killed in 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, hanged himself to death after failing
to seek government redress for two decades in China. A support group for parents
of the massacre's victims said that 73-year-old Ya Weilin's body was found in
an unused underground parking space of his residential complex. According to news.com.au,
a member of the group Zhang Xianling said that Ya killed himself to protest against
the government's refusal to address the grievances of the victim's relatives.
Ya killed himself about a week before the anniversary of the massacre on the night
of June 3-4, 1989, when the military crushed weeks long, student-led protests,
which killed almost thousands of people.
