STORYLINE:
Heavy security was seen around Tiananmen Square in Beijing on Sunday, 34 years after the military crackdown on pro-democracy student protestors in China’s capital.
Additional checkpoints were seen along the main Chang’an Avenue, as visitors and cyclists were stopped by police who checked their identification.
Throngs of tourists were seen visiting the iconic tourist site, hundreds standing in line to enter the square.
China allows no public discussion of the events of June 3-4, 1989, when soldiers backed by tanks and armored personnel carriers rolled into the heart of Beijing and hundreds, possibly thousands, of people were killed.
The exact death toll remains unknown.
Ahead of the anniversary, a group of mothers who lost their children in the Tiananmen crackdown sought redress and issued a statement renewing their call for "truth, compensation and accountability."
Human Rights Watch has called on the Chinese government to acknowledge responsibility for the killing of pro-democracy protestors.
