Police warn families of Tiananmen crackdown dead not to visit graves on 37th anniversary
Chinese authorities have prohibited families of victims from visiting a Beijing cemetery on the 37th anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. Relatives, part of the Tiananmen Mothers group, have historically held annual memorial visits, but police intensified restrictions this year. International figures like U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the censorship, while China's Foreign Ministry dismissed the criticism as interference.
