Tiananmen Mothers call on China to reassess 1989

BEIJING (Reuters) - Families of victims of the 1989 military crackdown on Tiananmen Square demonstrators have called on the government to reassess the incident and compensate victims, days ahead of the sensitive anniversary of the event.

In an open letter released by the watchdog group Human Rights in China on Monday, the "Tiananmen Mothers" also called for a process of truth and reconciliation over the events of June 3-4, 1989, when troops and tanks suppressed weeks of peaceful protests, killing hundreds.
