Hi:
I am not a follower, nor am I Chinese. However, I am interested in what really happened in Tiananmen Square. As I understand it, several of the victims (martyrs) have died and the others are in a high class hospitals. I have two thoughts:
- Why would they put these people in high class hospitals, when in the past they have sent them to labor camps?
- If the survivors live, which they should, will they speak of the incident? I believe that if the incident was fabricated, some of the survivors will be disillusioned by the reward-suffering ratio and speak out about what were the real motives behind the Self-Immolation. If they all die, I believe that it is too clean and probably fabricated.
Just an outsider looking in.
