             Hong Kong Reporter Detained Over Question to President

   by VOA News

   A Hong Kong reporter was briefly detained by police and a scuffle
   ensued after the reporter questioned Chinese President Hu Jintao about
   the 1989 pro-democracy Tiananmen Square demonstrations.
   During a visit to a construction site, a reporter from Hong Kong's
   Apple Daily newspaper shouted a question to the visiting President Hu
   about the Tiananmen incident. The president either did not hear the
   question or ignored it.
   But reporter Rex Hon said police detained him shortly afterward,
   telling him he had broken the rules.
   Angry reporters at the scene later surrounded police officials and
   demanded to know why the reporter was detained. Police ignored the
   questions and a brief scuffle broke out.
   Hu is in Hong Kong to observe the 15th anniversary of the end of
   British rule over the semi- autonomous island.
   The Associate Press reports that many in Hong Kong have long called for
   Beijing to overturn its condemnation of the Tiananmen Square
   pro-democracy demonstrations in June 1989, that the military went on to
   crush, killing hundreds, possibly more.
