19. SOUNDBITE (English) Phelim Kine, Researcher for Human Rights Watch:
"Over the past 21 years, since the June 4th Massacres, the Chinese Government has imposed a very strict censorship on any mention of what happened in June 1989 in Beijing and other cities. So there is been a collective enforced amnesia on the part of young people in China who have no opportunity to really learn what happened during that time. Now for those who survived and experienced those events in June '89, their activities are extremely controlled, so anyone who would like to commemorate what happened in June '89, very often they are put under house arrest; if they are in Beijing, they are forced to leave Beijing. So the government has imposed this chokehold on any type of public commemoration."
