This week is the 20th anniversary of Tiananmen Square when the Chinese military crushed supporters of democratic reform. This was marked yesterday 30 May 2009 in Leeds city centre outside the central library on the Headrow by a protest by Amnesty International.
I liked the mock up in wood of a tank in the above photograph. Red roses were placed in the turret of the tank.
Towards the end of the protest there was a reading of a poem by James Fenton "Tiananmen", read by the earnest young woman with a black top on the right in the above photograph.
