Last Tiananmen prisoner released from jail - human rights group

The last-known prisoner jailed for hooliganism in resisting the Chinese government’s crackdown on the 1989 Tiananmen Square democracy movement has been released ahead of the 20th anniversary of the suppression, a human rights group claimed.

The Dui Hua Foundation said today that Liu Zhihua was among a group of workers who organised a factory strike in the central China province of Hunan to protest the June 3-4 military action.
